[Multiple drug dependence].

This study includes all inpatients of the years 1977-1988 treated for multiple drug abuse, in a psychiatric department of a general hospital in Berlin. The descriptive assessment of combined drug abuse in the last half year before admission for withdrawal treatment was the research object. 1176 persons with multiple drug abuse were admitted. The mean-value of age was 36.8 years, the duration of addictive behaviour 9.2 years and, they had 1.9 withdrawal treatments as inpatients before their admission here. On an average they took 2.91 substances simultaneously, predominantly alcohol and benzodiazepines. The third rank is occupied by combinations of analgesics, and the fourth one by heroin. Some preferred combinations with characteristic variables of their users are evaluated.

[Comparison of the main diagnostic groups at a crisis intervention center].

With the present investigation of clients (admissions in 1980) of a psychiatric crisis intervention center we intended generally a description of the population and especially a characterization of the diagnostical group "psychogenic reaction" (ICD No. 309/308). That diagnostical group differs in many signs significantly from the group of alcohol and drug addicts (ICD No. 303/304). Differences to other diagnostical groups (like neurosis, personality disorders e.g., ICD-No. 300, 301, 306) we elaborated only for some factors. Predominantly we worked with a self-made open questionnaire and an objectivated test (FAPK = Questionnaire for psychosomatic disorders). As main conflict constellations of the patients we noticed personal and social isolation and relationship disorders. Our results in crisis provoking situations are in accordance with those of the life-event-research. The therapeutical consequences are discussed.

[Emergency center patients from the psychiatric and psychosomatic viewpoint].

100 patients of a surgical and internistic emergency ward of a general hospital were examined from the psychosomatic and psychiatric angle. 20 patients remained without surgical and internistic diagnosis; under this aspect, only 3% had no psychic principal sign. In 50%, psychic symptoms were seen. This leads the authors to demand inclusion of the psychosomatic-psychiatric discipline when rendering first aid, in the form of interdisciplinary co-operation.

[Catamnestic examinations in a crisis intervention ward of a general hospital (author's transl)].

The article reports on a catamnestic examination of patients of a crisis intervention center at a general hospital, conducted during the period from 1.5.1977 to 31.5.1978. A total of 560 admissions was recorded comprising 492 patients. Examination was carried out via an open questionnaire, plus data taken from the hospital's care index file. In 59% of the patients, the state of crisis was relieved in the course of an average hospitalisation period of 4.2 days; in 1.23% (= 6 patients), suicide occurred after hospitalisation. 2.4% only of the treated patients were re-admitted to inpatients treatment because of mental difficulties during the period of this study. Improvement of treatment is represented by the institution of facilities of transitional treatment which make it easier to transfer the patient from the crisis-intervention ward, motivating him to participate in long-term outpatient therapy.
