Neuropsychological dysfunction and psychological conflict.

The author examines the interplay between neuropsychological dysfunction and psychological conflict. Two ideas are emphasized. First, clinicians may overlook or subtly de-emphasize the contribution of neuropsychological dysfunction to patients' difficulties. Second, when neuropsychological difficulties are diagnosed, there is value in being acquainted with the details of the dysfunction and exploring the specific ways in which they are elaborated in fantasy and interwoven in the patient's psychodynamic constellation (including their employment for defensive and superego purposes). This perspective is contrasted with more general formulations concerning the patient's experience of her/ himself as damaged. A case serves to illustrate such a clinical process of discovery.

[Method of evaluating the psychological conflict in patients who have had a myocardial infarct].

A test for quantitative appraisal of psychological confliction is described. A variant of the "Polar personality profiles" method (SDF) is used as the basis of the test. The corresponding scheme for presenting the SDF and interpreting the data obtained is elaborated. Data obtained during clinical interrogations were used for validation of the test. One hundred and forty-five males were examined 1.5 to 2 months after recovery from myocardial infarction. A close correlatin was noted between the clinical data and the results of SDF. The results of the study show that the suggested method makes it possible to obtain reliable quantitative data concerning the psychological confliction of patients who had myocardial infarction.

Assessing psychological conflict.

A method was constructed to assess cognitive conflict. It uses a large number of a subject's beliefs and attitudes which may be connected with his personal problems. The subject rates the direction and the degree of these beliefs and attitudes and the proportion of conflict involved in them is then calculated by computer according to a model basically derived from Heider's cognitive balance theory.

Psychologic conflict underlying bioethical dilemmas in a chronic disease hospital. Empathy, treatment refusal, and the role of the consulting psychiatrist.

Bioethical dilemmas concerning treatment refusal commonly arise in the chronic disease hospital setting. Psychologic conflict often underlies these dilemmas and the consulting psychiatrist's use of empathy in defining them is elucidated. The limits to empathy imposed by the clinical situation have significant implications for understanding the psychologic aspects of treatment refusal. The need for further study of the psychologic needs of patients in life-extended situations is advocated.

[Reflections on the alexithymia concept: psychological conflict and verbal behavior. A contribution to phenomenology].

The concept of alexithymy, which is controversial in literature, is used in psychoanalytic discussion to identify a manifestation of character which is distinguished by distress and deficiency in the areas of interpersonal interaction, emotionality, and phantasy life. The definition of alexithymy demonstrates some inconsistencies; the quality of alexithymic thinking should show, for instance, both features; the attributes of the primary process and a pragmatic-instrumentalist orientation, which does not go together. In this article, we try to describe the style of interaction to which the concept of alexithymy refers as the strategy of "Versachlichung". "Strategy of Versachlichung" means a structure of defense and compensation relating to archaic fears that the primary object on whom one depends is in danger to be destroyed.
