Participants on a course entitled 'Planning and Evaluating a Course' generated a theoretical framework to simplify consideration of the essential components of clinically skilled behaviour.

Phenomenology of organic and functional psychoses and the overlap between them.

The Present State Examination was conducted upon 328 recently admitted psychotic patients, of whom 23 were later found to have underlying organic illness.

Few significant differences were present and there was considerable overlap between the diagnostic groups.
