[Study of acute psychoses. I. The problem of acute psychoses: nosographic classification].

Survey of the first admitted patients for nonorganic and nonaffective acute psychotic decompensation in an Inpatient Treatment Unit, as a part of a Mental HealthCenter, in a General Hospital. Preliminarily the Authors review the concept of "acute psychosis" from Bleuler to Leonhard, Wyrsch, Lanfeldt, the bouffées delirantes of the French literature, the schizophreniform disorder of the DSM III R. The acute psychosis is "a carrefour state" where many types of acute events come together: schizophrenic, affective, reactive. Sometimes, but rarely, acute psychosis is a nosographic unit. This unit needs further evidence.

[Personality profile in bipolar schizoaffective psychoses. A comparison with bipolar affective psychoses].

The aim of this study was to investigate personality profiles in patients with bipolar affective and schizoaffective disorder, classified according to ICD-9 criteria using objective psychological tests (Personal Research Form, Objective Analytical Test Battery, IPC-Query Form). The bipolar schizoaffective patients were further subtyped according to Research Diagnostic Criteria (RDC) into schizoaffective-affective and schizoaffective-schizophrenic patients. 81 patients took part in the study (29 bipolar affective and 52 bipolar schizoaffective patients; the latter were subtyped into 23 schizoaffective-schizophrenic and 29 schizoaffective-affective patients). We showed that the personality profiles are quite similar in schizoaffective-affective and schizoaffective-schizophrenic patients if compared to purely affective patients. But indeed there are pronounced differences between the schizoaffective-affective and the schizoaffective-schizophrenic subtypes, so that subtyping schizoaffective disorder like done in Research Diagnostic Criteria (RDC) seems to show that schizoaffective disorders are not a homogenous group.
