Electrophysiological correlates of a paroxysmal movement disorder.

Averaged electroencephalographic activity related to rhythmic jerking movements was recorded in a patient with a complex neurological symptomatology. The diagnosis of a functional disorder was strongly suggested by his clinical course, inconsistent findings from physical examination, and negative workup. His abnormal movements were associated with the same electrophysiological correlates as normal willed motion, suggesting that averaged movement potentials may provide useful information in the study of patients with suspected functional movement disorders.

Effectiveness of urine surveillance as an adjunct to outpatient psychotherapy for drug abusers.

Twenty-nine polydrug abusers were randomly assigned to three out-patient treatment groups after inpatient detoxification. The groups were outpatient psychotherapy (1) with urine surveillance, (2) without surveillance, and (3) waiting list control. Tests were administered before and 3 months after outpatient treatment began. All groups made positive changes during treatment including significant reduction in drugs abused and numbers of subjects reporting less time spent in illegal activity. Notable significant differences were Group 3's reduction in social introversion vs Groups 1 and 2, and Group 1's retaining fewer drug-using friends and showing greatest reduction in barbiturate use frequency vs Groups 2 and 3. Experimenters concluded urine surveillance was somewhat helpful as an adjunct to outpatient psychotherapy but suggested its effect could be amplified by employing more rigorous surveillance procedures, especially if contingency contracting were utilized.
