[Problems of siblings of schizophrenics].

In the introduction the authors mention the best known authors who investigated the dynamics of interpersonal relations in families with a schizophrenic patient. The illustrative statement of an intelligent loving sister is adopted from article by Brodoff and according to the authors it has transcultural validity. In our country the solution is only modified by socioeconomic dependence of the adolescent and young adult on the nuclear family. Therefore the separation of the healthy sibling takes frequently an inopportune course and should be adjusted by psychological psychiatric intervention within primary prevention. In the conclusion the authors inform on the psychosomatic reaction of mothers after the establishment of the diagnosis of schizophrenia. A total of seven mothers, sick adolescent (four times a son, three times a daughter). In all instances severe prolonged metrorrhagia was involved. According to catamnestic data four times hysterectomy was performed (always without a pathological finding).

[Aggressive behavior in adolescent groups].

Aggressive behaviour of adolescents may be based either on an inborn personality structure, or cultivated by training, i.e. the character of punishment. It is encountered in children with organic disorders of the CNS or psychotic disease. A specific case is aggressive behaviour in communities, being found in particular in communities of boys. The authors describe a typical case of an aggressor and the typical profile of the victim. Psychiatric intervention involves psychotherapeutic treatment and influencing of the social and family which should be focused on possible aggressive behaviour.

[Developmental psychopathology].

The author describes the part played by developmental psychopathology in the epidemiology of psychiatric disorders. Analysis of three basic perspectives. The problem of age and developmental trends due to the incidence of certain psychiatric diagnoses at a certain age (in a certain developmental period). Continuity and discontinuity of normal and pathological forms of behaviour from childhood to adult age. Time patterns of continuity in diagnostic categories of depression, behavioural disorders and schizophrenia. Perspective of causal mechanisms, where two pathways seemed feasible: research of factors reducing the deviant behaviour and investigation of harmonious marriages.

[Moral development in children].

In child psychiatry the developmental aspect is emphasized. Recognition of normal sequence of development in so-called "normal children" makes it possible to reveal pathological conditions (either retardation or acceleration of development, distortion or atypical development). Change-motion-development are philosophical categories considered a manifestation or life--of psychobiological maturation and growth. When investigating the moral development three theories were applied: the developmental theory (Piaget)--learning (Kohlberg), the dynamic theory (Sandler). Among factors which influence in a certain way the moral behaviour the following were selected: age, sex, temperament, family environment. The author describes three stages of moral development in children: preventional stage (moral heteronomy) up to the age of 8 years, conventional and pst conventional (moral autonomy) in adolescence.
