The role of testicular conflicts in a countertransference reaction.

A case is presented in which a patient's presenting symptoms of impotence and a pervasive inhibition of productivity are dynamically related to a cryptorchild condition which was discovered and treated during childhood. The importance of the cryptorchid condition and its relationship to the patient's later psychopathology are examined. However, it is the therapist's reaction to the clinical material that is the paricular focus of his paper. The therapist obtained the history of cryptorchism in the fifth month of treatment, and then subsequently repressed this data. In addition, a persistent countertransference reaction developed that threatened to disrupt the treatment relationship. In reviewing the course of the therapy, it was possible to determine that the therapist's repression of the patient's cryptorchism and his subsequent countertransference response were directly related to his own repressed testicular conflicts. The implications regarding the existence of similar conflicts in other therapists are discussed.

Perceptions of family relationships by institutionalized and noninstitutionalized dependent children.

This paper reports research findings obtained regarding family relationships for three groups of adolescents: institutionalized, dependent children; noninstitutionalized, dependent children who are candidates for placement in institutions; and children living with their parents. It also describes a relatively novel, nonverbal, research instrument, the Family Relations Test, used to obtain the data. The conclusion is drawn that one of the major tasks of child care institutions is to restore children's self-esteem and confidence--yet it is far from certain as to whether these settings are capable of accomplishing this important task.

Symbiosis and confirmation between father and schizophrenic.

Projective test and interview data indicate that both schizophrenics and their fathers view fathers of schizophrenics as tending to be neither bonded symbiotically to, nor adaptive to the viewpoint of their schizophrenic offspring. Comparisons to fathers of nonschizophrenic mental patients and fathers of normal controls are reported.

Incestuous rape: a cause for hysterical seizures in four adolescent girls.

Four cases are presented of hysterical seizures in adolescent girls as a consequence of forced incestuous relationships with their fathers. It is suggested that, for all girls presented to the clinician with symptoms of hysterical seizures, a detailed history should be taken to explore for the possibility of incest.

Family unit in a children's psychiatric hospital.

The need for effective management of disorders of parent/child relationships is repeatedly stressed. Despite the bulk of theoretical work on the subject there is little information on the practical management of the clinical problems that arise. We describe a unit designed and staffed for the management of such disorders. In our view it meets a need in a way that could be difficult or impossible for most paediatric, psychiatric, and social services as they are at present organized.

Personality and behavior patterns of heroin-dependent American servicemen in Thailand.

The authors compared a groups of heroin-dependent American servicemen stationed in Thailand with a matched control groups of men not dependent on heroin. The data gathered regarding social history, attitudes, work record, previous drug use, personality, and intelligence show significant differences between the heroin-dependent men and the control group in four areas: intelligence, work record, number of years of schooling and number of drug used before using heroin. The data suggest that many of the heroin-dependent men had difficulties related to a distant or negative relationship to their fathers; however, in contrast to previous studies of heroin addicts, they do not confirm a relationship between heroin dependence and any particular personality pattern.

Psychogenic factors in kidney transplant rejection: a case study.

The author examines the influence of psychic factors on kidney transplant rejection in a patient who suffered emotional trauma. As an adolescent, this man had reacted to the death of his father with an incomplete mourning response and had coped with the loss through identification and a search for surrogates. The death of a paternal surrogate immediately preceded the transplant rejection. The author emphasizes that the establishment of a causal relationship between a somatic event and a psychic antecedent is facilitated by demonstrating that a latent conflict has been evoked symbolically by an external event. Further research into such correlations could significantly enhance our understanding of disease processes.
