[Recent maternity and manifestations of anxiety-depression. Epidemiological study of a population of non-consulting primiparas of the Liège region].

This study had for objective to detect the psychological morbidity of 176 non-consulting primiparas in the region of Liege using both the PSE and a sociological questionnaire. A high incidence of anxio-depressive manifestations was recorded in the month following birth (almost 27% of the cases) and their persistence at a lower rate in the 8th and 18th month. We were finally able to point out a certain number of risk factors: socioeconomic and familial conditions, somatic factors (difficult pregnancy and birth), recent psychological trauma or persistent conflict.

[Attitudes concerning military duty and personality structures. Clinical, psychometric and projective study of Jehovah wittnesses and conscientious objectors (author's transl)].

Refusal of military duty appearing to be a deviant social attitude, the authors have investigated the relationship between this behaviour and personality. They hypothesize that the rigid attitude of the Jehovah Wittness, refusing military duty and civil service, would be linked to paranoïd structure, and conscientious objectors to border-line states. A triple approach (clinical, Rorschach and aggressivity inventory of Buss and Durkee) was used; representative groups of these two populations were compared to control military recruits. Rorschach protocoles did not differentiate the Jehovah and control group, both being characterized by poor items and retraction. The authors interpret there data by possible absence of motivation in controls, or a rigid psychological organisation, which could be related habits in life and spirit of our societies. For the objectors, these are richer and more open. Five out of twelve appear to have a border-line organisation.

[Standardized psychiatric examination according to the Wing-Cooper-Sartorius method].

The Present State Examination elaborated by Wing, Cooper and Sartorius aims at standardizing the psychiatric examination by controlling the interview technique, the definition of symptoms, and the taxinomic rationale. The method consists of two successive steps: a "human step" (evaluation of 140 symptoms) and a "computer step" (the CATEGO program, compatible with the WHO International Classification of Diseases). Besides its interest for clinical research, the Present State Examination is extremely helpful in clinical routine and in teaching. A few examples from the work done in our department are given. They concern an epidemiological study of recent mothers, a methodological reflexion on subjects presenting a borderline personality, and on a comparative study of female alcoholism.
