Amphetamine psychosis in Tokyo--its clinical features and social problems.

Japan is presently experiencing a second epidemic of amphetamine abuse, with methamphetamine abusers committing an increasing number of murders and injuries to ordinary citizens. As a result of the author's study of some 60 cases of amphetamine psychosis, the basic symptomatology of the disease was determined to be a paranoid hallucinatory state. Moreover, according to the contents of the paranoid hallucinatory state and the courses of the disease, amphetamine psychotics were divided into two types--the acute and the chronic. Though the former delusions were vivid, realistic and concrete, the latter were generalized, systematized and grandiose. Regarding the course of the disease, the former were episodic and the latter required longer treatments. Thus as the outline of the social background of these addicts had been made clear, it has been emphasized that the authorities must decide to solve this as a social problem.

A study of social problems in a group of young women treated with brief psychotherapy.

This paper reports on a series of young women with social problems treated with brief psychotherapy in a NHS setting and fulfilling difinite selection criteria. It is suggested that we have paid more attention to the role of the mother infancy and have tended to neglect the influence of the father. While we have studied emotional change in the growing child we have not perhaps made sufficient allowance for changes in parents. This study examines the role of the father in his daughter's adolescence. Awareness of this factor in the clinical setting might help to shorten the course of psychotherapy in appropriate cases. Sociologically it is relevant to our views on parenthood.

Substance use, health and social problems of service users at 54 drug treatment agencies. Intake data from the National Treatment Outcome Research Study.

BACKGROUND: The National Treatment Outcome Research Study (NTORS) is the first large-scale, prospective, multi-site treatment outcome study of drug users in the UK. METHOD: Substance use, health and social problems of 1075 service users were assessed at intake to 54 agencies chosen to be representative of the main national drug treatment modalities. RESULTS: Heroin dependence was the most frequently reported problem often with poly-drug and alcohol problems. Most service users injected drugs and a quarter of the injectors shared injecting equipment. Poly-drug use and heavy drinking were more common among service users admitted to residential treatments. High criminality rates were reported. Psychological and physical health problems were common and many service users had prior contact with psychiatric and medical services. CONCLUSIONS: The range and severity of problems adversely affect individual users, their families, and present a challenge to addiction treatment services. These problems create costs for the health care, social service and criminal justice system responses.

Development of social problem solving in early childhood: stability, change, and associations with social competence.

Kindergarten and 1st-grade boys were administered social cognitive interviews in 2 consecutive years to investigate the response-generation step of N. R. Crick and K. A. Dodge's (1994) social information processing model. Boys generated responses to 4 types of hypothetical social dilemmas. Responses to these situations were primarily prosocial, with a large minority of avoidant and antisocial solutions. In general, older boys provided more effective solutions than did their younger peers, and stabilities were modest but significant for subcategories of both prosocial and antisocial responses. Boys who were accepted by their peers provided more prosocial and effective solutions than did boys of lower peer status, but no status differences emerged for antisocial responses. The data also suggest that young children view aggression as an acceptable means to solving peer conflict.

[Alcohol use by future physicians--medical and social problem].

The aim of the study was to assess the kind of alcohol disorders and their recurrence among students of medicine. Authors analysed 143 people using Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT). It was found that 54.2% of students drink alcohol once a month or rarely, and 41.5% at least twice a month. The standard amount of alcohol for 53.1% of interviewed students were 1-2 standard drinks (10 g of ethanol), while every fourth student drinks 5 and more standard drinks. Hazardous drinking was found in 46.5% of studied subjects, three times more among men than women. The positive results of AUDIT obtained 11.9% of interviewed students. The percentage of people with alcohol problems found after AUDIT was 4.3%. Alcohol use among students of medicine is a medical and social problem according to performed studies.
