[Comparison of anonymous and hospital treatment of alcoholism].

As many as 916 persons who consulted the narcologist with a purpose of being treated for alcoholism on an anonymous basis and 916 patients with analogous ailments admitted to a psychiatric hospital were examined and the results obtained were correlated. The anonymous treatment appeared money-saving, won the sympathy of the patients and their relatives, and was effective enough. The data obtained enable one to raise the question about the expansion of the network of dispensaries and rooms for the anonymous treatment. The results of the treatment also indicate that both hospital and anonymous treatment of alcoholic patients should be most likely requiring payment.

[Neurosis-like and psychopath-like disorders in mild retardation in childhood and adolescence].

The time course of neuropsychic deviations in children of a special rehabilitation boarding school was studied. Over 50% of the children displayed some neurosis- and psychopathlike disturbances upon admission to school. Owing to the medical and pedagogical measures the number of the children with these deviations falls to 11% by the end of the second year of study. But in the pubertal age their number increases again reaching 45.9%. Decompensation of this kind occurs in both boys (50.5%) and, less frequently, girls (36%). At this age, boys exhibit changes mostly in the emotional and volitional spheres, while in girls, excessive sexuality and tendencies toward wandering are predominant. Most schoolchildren overcome the state of decompensation by the time of finishing school.
