Pathological identification in twins.

In summary, in addition to the cultural, parental, developmental, and dynamic factors which support mutual identification and/or failure of separation between twins, it is my thesis that the basic early identifications between twins rely heavily on relatively conflict-free perceptual modes (visual, auditory, kinesthetic, etc.) quite different from the conflict-laden drive modes we usually think of when considering identification. Furthermore, identification based on perceptual modes, which are relatively free of conflict in early development, become extremely difficult to analyze, as analytic progress depends on conflict.

The decision to hospitalize.

The authors explored determinants of psychiatric hospitalization in four Manhattan general hospital emergency rooms and found that although the nature and severity of a patient's problem played the most important role in the decision to hospitalize, the facility involved was also a determining factor. The findings are discussed in relation to policy concerning staffing and organization of emergency room services and future studies of service delivery in this area.

Continuing education, recertification, and examination anxiety.

A substantial majority of the 645 psychiatrists responding to a questionnaire survey favored mandatory continuing education and evidence of continuing education as a requirement for relicensure. The respondents' overwhelming repudiation of recertification may be based on examination anxiety. The respondents recognized the value of continuing education, were even willing to document it in order to be relicensed, but did not wish to examined. Those respondents who were younger, Board-certified, and had an academic appointment were more likely to favor continuing education requirements in order to be relicensed. Private practitioners were underrespresented among the respondents, highlighting the important role that APA and its district branches must play in developing meaningful continuing education opportunities for psychiatrists.
