[Diagnostic approach to psychogenic processes--an attempt to differentiate psychodynamic patterns (author's transl)].

An attempt is made to define "emotional reactions", a disease concept in child and adolescent neuropsychiatry which encompasses all processes of psychogenic origin. Emotional reaction, which is defined as psychophysical perturbation of short duration induced by trauma or some other event, is distinguished from neurotic reaction, one of the forms of an unconscious psychodynamic process, and from abnormal personality development, which encompasses all factors affecting psychological development, i.e. deprivation, stimulation, as well as abnormal field and environmental conditions. The differentiation between these 3 processes, which are based on entirely different psychodynamic patterns, has diagnostic and, of still greater importance, therapeutic implications.

[Youth normative crisis (author's transl)].

Puberty and adolescence as important periods of youth are described in their form and relationship to society. The essential contents of this developmental period are: 1. breakthrough of ego-development, 2. awareness of genital sexuality, 3. conquest and keeping of the place one belongs in society. The manifestations of these developmental phases are shaped by biological somatic, psychological and social factors which have changed during the course of time in a more or less rapid or slowly progressive way. Crises during the most significant developmental periods of the youngsters reflect also the crises of the society.

[Development of child psychotherapy in Europe].

The author, by starting from the definitional delimitation of psychotherapy and education, gives a brief description of the history of pedopsychotherapy from early beginnings through to the present time. This particular form of therapy has become varied in both its theories and methods. The present trend of development of pedopsychotherapy is characterized by patient-oriented multidimensional treatment of mental disease rather than classical analysis. An exact separation of education and psychotherapy is presently made for didactical reasons only, but is no longer possible in actual practice.

[Extreme psychogenic shock states in childhood].

An attempt is made in this paper to describe a syndrome consequent upon extreme psychogenic shock situations, which has been observed in a number of children. This syndrome is characterized by panic, flight, and anxiety during the actual event, which are followed by a relatively prolonged period of exclusion from consciousness of painful memories. Besides, there may be observed neurotic symptoms manifesting themselves in a decrease in proficiency level, refusal to establish contacts with other people, and mental digestion of the events. Assimilation of the events by intensive psychotherapy seems to be possible within about six months. Also discussed in this paper is the problem of actual neurosis and the origin of preconscious repression.
