Deprivation/enhancement fantasy patterns in children.

Previous studies have shown that females tell stories that change from negative experiences (deprivation) to positive experiences (enhancement) and males tell stories that change in the opposite direction. The current study examines this phenomenon in children using a different story-telling procedure. Results were not consistent with those of previous studies.

On the activation of symbiotic gratification fantasies as an aid in the treatment of alcoholics.

Seventy-two alcoholics being treated at Veritas Villa were divided into an experimental and a control group. In addition to the regular treatment program both groups received four subliminal exposures of a verbal message in each of six sessions over a 2-week period. The messages were MOMMY AND I ARE ONE (experimental) and PEOPLE ARE WALKING (control), administered under double-blind conditions. In keeping with the main hypothesis, the experimental Ss were rated as significantly more involved in treatment. In addition, among the alcoholics who were more symptomatic to begin with, the MOMMY message, when contrasted with the control, lowered anxiety and depression, enhanced self-concept, and reduced alcohol consumption after a 3-month follow-up.

The "Jerusalem syndrome"--fantasy and reality a survey of accounts from the 19th century to the end of the second millennium.

The so-called "Jerusalem Syndrome" is behavioral phenomena observed in eccentric and psychotic tourists with religious delusions. A significant number of pilgrims and tourists have been visiting the Holy City, at least since the beginning of the 19th century, including some delusionary and eccentric characters. The authors present a selection of vivid descriptive accounts of such 19th century visitors, by six local residents and writers about Jerusalem (including one psychiatrist). It should be noted that those writers already noticed and documented the so-called syndrome more than a century ago. In comparison to modern research of the phenomena in contemporary Jerusalem, a striking similarity in the narrative and the clinical picture emerges. However, based on accumulated data, the authors suggest that in most cases the religious atmosphere of the city is not the primary cause for the disorder. The psychotic visitors had set out for their journey to the Holy City already guided by a delusionary system derived from their religious belief and cultural background.
