A decision model in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive neuroses.

The treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorders with a behavioural therapeutic program consisting of response prevention has proved to be rather successful. A prospective study of the potentialities of predicting the outcome of such a treatment program is described. The results of this research could possibly lead to the development of a decision model for use in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive neurosis.

[EEG frequency analyses in children and adolescents with obsessive-compulsive neuroses].

A controlled clinical study was conducted of 25 girls and boys (mean age: 12;7 years) with obsessive-compulsive disorders and 26 patients (mean age: 13;4 years) with other neurotic disorders. None of the subjects had any organic brain disorders. The question addressed was whether there are any EEG findings specific to the group of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorders, as several authors have reported. The EEG frequency analyses (power spectra) showed abnormal findings (fronto-temporal dysfunction and/or electrobiologically delayed maturation) in two thirds of the subjects with obsessive syndromes. The difference between the two groups was not significant, however. Thus the hypothesis of specific EEG patterns in obsessive-compulsive disorders could not be supported.

[Perspectives and time as relevant phenomena in the psychopathology of obsessive-compulsive neuroses].

Perspectivity and time are central terms of the process of cognition in the phänomenological philosophy and anthropology. In this context, "perspective"' means the terms of freedom, act, orientation and sense. The "world of obessional neurotic" however is characterized by the lack of intersubjective relations, by loss of orientation and senselessness. The time, which the obessional neurotic experienced not as continual protention, but by compulsive rituals and compulsions of control, did deprive him of each liberal relation to future. From this context implications for a psychotherapeutic relation can be derived.

Prevalence of mental disorders in an urban sample examined at 70, 75 and 79 years of age.

The prevalence of mental disorders in a representative sample of old people in Gothenburg, Sweden, was studied at 70, 75 and 79. The study comprised 392 subjects at 70, 302 subjects at 75 and 203 at 79. A case was defined by cut-off points on symptom and sign rating scales, and diagnoses were defined operationally as closely as possible to the ICD-classification. The total psychiatric morbidity was 21.9, 24.2 and 31.0% in the three age groups. The prevalence of schizophrenic and paranoid syndromes was 0.5, 1.7 and 2.5% and of affective disorders 1.0, 2.3 and 0.5%. The prevalence of dementias of psychotic degree was 1.3, 2.3 and 6.9% and of asthenic neuroses corresponding to dementias of mild-moderate degree 2.3, 4.0 and 9.4%. The prevalence of anxiety, depressive and obsessive-compulsive neuroses of moderate-severe degree was 6.6, 4.6 and 3.9% and of mild degree 7.9, 6.0 and 5.9%. The prevalence of active alcoholism in men was 4.2, 3.4 and 3.0% and in women 0.0% in all age groups. Current treatment was reported by 67-85% of subjects with psychoses, about one half of them in psychiatric services, and by 35-65% of subjects with neuroses, about one fifth of them in psychiatric services.
