Spectral analysis of alpha rhythm during Schultz's autogenic training. A tentative approach to rapid visualization.

The records from experimental sessions including autogenic standard exercises and other conscious states, in two long-term trainees, were treated by using a frequency analysis programme. Starting from a synoptic reduced representation of the data and selecting sequences for the building of histograms of averaged energy levels in limited frequency bands, the authors describe the progressive spread of a dominant alpha band all over the scalp during autogenic training.

[Use of computers in clinical psychiatry. Statistical study of a population of treated alcoholics].

According to their own standardized Patient Data Inventory, the authors proceed to a statistical comparative evaluation of 55 males neurotic or psychosomatic hospitalized alcholics and of two control groups of non-alcoholic neurotic or psychosomatic male patients: 252 ambulatory and 72 hospitalized. The authors find significant differences between alcoholics and non-alcoholics, especially: 1 no.) heavier family history (psychoses, dysgenetic disorders), greater incidence of psychosomatic disorders in the previous history, more distrubed parental relations in childhood (maternal overprotection and lack of paternal authority); 2 no.) from the patient viewpoint: a louder expression of somatic and functionnal complaints; 3 no.) from the therapist viewpoint, less emotionality, weaker expression of aggressiveness (either overt or latent).

[Ulcerative rectocolitis: autogenous training. On serveral serious cases (author's transl)].

Three patients, suffering from severe ulcerative rectocolitis which could require surgery, were significantly improved by standard exercises of autogenous training with a combination of drug treatment. Somatic morbid signs (clinical as well as rectoscopical) were disappearing through the establishment of a better adaptation to reality. The importance of the therapeutic frame is underlined.
