DRUG TREATMENT OF PSYCHOTIC PATIENTS IN GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTICE.

It is possible for general medical practitioners to successfully treat many psychotic patients in their offices, provided they have some training in psychiatric diagnosis and in psychotherapy procedures appropriate to the general situation of the practicing non-psychiatrist physician. This has become so because of recent developments in psychopharmacology.Drugs are now available which permit control of the symptoms of psychoses with reasonable specificity. The phenothiazines are appropriate for patients with schizophrenic psychoses. The "target symptoms" indicate which one to use. The affective psychoses are best handled with dibenzazipine anti-depressants. With proper medication and frequent short supportive interviews, many such patients can be successfully treated.

Psychotherapy of alcoholics; the concept of psychotherapeutic motivation.

The psychiatric patient's compliance with requirements of therapy (attendance, responsiveness, verbalization, etc.) often is adopted by the therapist as the chief criterion of motivation for cure. By these standards alcoholics often are judged to be poorly motivated and unsuited to the therapist's mode of therapy. In such cases, the method may have to be adapted to the case, and a more permissive attitude taken toward the patient's apparent noncooperation.
