[Mythology of alcohol drinking].

The social order relies on a whole of standards and requires the conformity of the individuals to his models. The consumers of alcohol - alcoholized people - either stay in the order which makes pressure on them to bring them to consume still staying within the standards of consumption according to a process of which the works stay unknown, either drift progressively towards marginality and subversion. Their behaviour is described as a "disease", description which works as a myth as well as a reality, the perception and description of the treatment supposed to be opposed to it acts on the same manner. The consumption of alcohol - alcoholization - can be understood as a social doing which testifies the adhesion to the standard and/or a personal doing in view of a research of psychotropy. Alcoholism announces itself when the alcoholization is perceived by the Other as a deviation and an existential tactical. It is not a clinic diagnosis as one may let believe, but a stigma, a label, even a judgment over a scandal. And then begins the misfortune to the one by whom the scandal arises.

[Prescription of antidepressants (author's transl)].

To give an antidepressant corresponds tro the wish of the prescriber and/or to the wish of the receiver. The prescribing therapeutist will try to modify the depressive situation of the patient with an active substance without side-effects and toxicity. On the contrary, the self-prescriber (narcotics, spirits, medicinal substances) will not take into consideration the notion of risk, either because he is looking for a quasi immediate modification of a dysphoric being or because the background of his wish is a modest extend the Order of Death. The wish of any prescriber has certain limits: - the possible future of the biochemical typology of depression;

[Statistical analysis of the activity of loxapine and thioridazine in a double-blind study].

49 patients have been treated for 12 weeks with loxapine and thioridazine in a double-blind study. The evaluation was carried out with a covariance analysis with B.P.R.S. and NOSIE as bases and a variance analysis concerning the general clinical improvement. With 36 schizophrenics, the two treatments have shown significant and similar general improvement as early as the second week, and this in particular with all the factors and most of the items of the B.P.R.S. with 13 psychotic not schizophrenic patients, the covariance analysis showed that the results (improvement of all the factors, with most of the items and in the total score of the B.P.R.S.), while comparable, were slightly in favour of loxapine for the item "disorientation", for "disturbance of thought", and "excitement-disorientation", for the final score of B.P.R.S., for the general and clinical improvement and for the alteration of the initial degree of severity. The analysis of the NOSIE showed a significant improvement which is similar for both treatments.
