["Mediumistic psychoses". A case report].

Psychiatric diseases resulting from occult practices or spiritualist influences have long been known Henneberg in 1919 first described independent forms concelved as having a psychological genesis as "mediumistic psychoses". The continued importance of these disorders and the difficulties in their typological classification are illustrated by reference to a patient of our own who had pronounced auditory hallucinations. In classifying "mediumistic psychoses", it appears appropriate to give first consideration to atypical schizophrenic disorder.

[Age and sex dependence of schizophrenic delusional themes--a contribution to the understanding of abnormal thinking?].

In the frame of statistical evaluations of different kinds of delusional themes some of them depended on sex and age of the schizophrenic patients. Thus, female persons suffered in a significant way much more from delusions with direct influence on their body and delusional jealousy than male persons. On the other hand the symptomatology of the older patients showed significant frequencies in delusions with distant disturbances in comparison with younger ones. The results were discussed in context with the problematic of understanding the delusion. To accentuate the psychosocial connections of psychopathological ways of thinking social clichés respectively common stereotypes were proved. Last not least "regressive" tendencies in delusional themes were regarded in the view of the social situation of the peoples having these symptoms.

[Ambulatory individual psychotherapy for cancer patients].

Psychological aspects of malignant diseases, especially cancer, are discussed increasingly. In general cancer patients take special endeavours to be inconspicuous concerning their psychic illness. Psychotherapeutic fundamentals are the best starting-point to meet latent needs of ambulatory psychological assistance. Individual problems, difficulties with the own psychical condition or metaphoric ideas should be treated after all not in an uncovering way. Therefore, "supportive" respectively "interactional" psychotherapeutic help, which is described separately, is especially useful.
