VARIETIES OF INFORMATION REQUESTS IN A MEDICAL LIBRARY.

In an analysis of the information requests received and recorded in the Cleveland Medical Library over a two-year period, the requests were classified in four groups according to whether they were direct inquiries (factual), indirect (subject), biographical and directory, or requests for verification of literature citations. An attempt was made to discover some of the major characteristics and the volume of activity in each class. The results reflect the information services supplied by a single library with its own unique clientele and functions, rather than provide a means of generalizing about information services in all libraries, although they may give us some useful insights. Detailed analyses are made of direct and of biographical and directory questions. The largest number of inquiries received were those in which literature references on a specified subject were requested (indirect inquiries); these represented over 50 percent of the total. Most of the requests in this category called for limited coverage (five articles or less) in the recent literature (not over five years). Requests for verification of citations ranked next with 25 percent of the total, followed by direct (factual) inquiries (12 percent) and biographical and directory inquiries (9 percent), although it is recognized that these last two classes are probably underrepresented in the sample.

[Willy Hellpach's (1877-1955) Medical Psychology].

In Germany Medical Psychology was commonly understood as Psychopathology until the mid-20th century. Especially Ernst Kretschmer (1888-1964) and Paul Schilder (1886-1964) can be named as authors who contributed to this particular field representing a basis of psychiatry. With his textbook 'Klinische Psychologie' published in 1946, Willy Hellpach (1877-1955), a neuropsychiatrist and professor of psychology, established a new understanding of this part of Applied Psychology. His statement: "All forms of mental behaviour in somatic diseases are subject of Clinical Psychology " has fallen into oblivion. Although presented as Clinical Psychology has conception is basically medical-psychological. We intend to outline Hellpach's biography and to describe - thereafter - the development of his Clinical, i.e. Medical Psychology and its subjects. We hope that medical psychologists, especially in Germany, but in other countries, too, will absorb Hellpach's ideas and will begin to appreciate his importance for the configuration of a modern Medical Psychology.

[Conrad Ferdinand Meyer reflected in the paradigm change in German psychiatry].

German-speaking psychiatrists had a great interest in the Swiss poet and writer Conrad Ferdinand Meyer (1825-1898)-even after his death. Meyer was hospitalised twice for major depression with psychotic features. For many years of his life he showed a chronic depressive disorder. We would diagnose a dysthymic disorder with comorbid recurrent major depressive disorder with psychotic features according to DSM-IV or ICD-10. After Meyer had lived isolated for many years and had hardly left his house, he reached public recognition and found his "profession" only at the age of 40. Different pathographic publications (amongst others Möbius, Hellpach, Sadger, Lang, Jung) on Meyer in the early 20th century reflect the debate over both Kraepelin's theories and psychoanalysis. In these publications the scientific argument was often more important than Meyer's biography. Two topics play an important role in these discussions: the differences between idiographic and nomothetic method, and the question, where the border between "personality variation" and "illness" lies.
