[Investigation of the interraterreliability of the AMP system (author's transl)].

The interraterreliability of the AMP system (developed by the Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Methodik und Kokumentation in der Psychiatrie (AMP)) has been studied for the first time concerning the level of scales. The investigation was carried out using 80 ratings from two raters concerning a group of acute schizophrenic patients. The results pointed out the extreme usefulness of the AMP system also with respect to interraterreliability. Furthermore, a comparison between the group studied (ICD 295) and a group of schizophrenic patients (ICD 295) from the literature indicated a special AMP profile for groups of schizophrenic patients, the paranoid subgroup (295.3) being predominant.

[Body-centered group psychotherapy in acute schizophrenics. Evaluation by rating of ego functions (Bellak et al., 1973)].

37 acute schizophrenic inpatients were studied in respect to the therapeutic effect of the body-centered group psychotherapy (körperzentrierte Gruppenpsychotherapie). The evaluation was made by the rating of ego functions (Bellak et al., 1973). The acute schizophrenic patients with somatic disturbances (functional ones, body illusions and halluzinations, depersonalisation) turned out to make significantly better progress in ego functions (p less than 0.05) than the control sample.

[Group therapy with schizophrenics. Introduction and theory of body-centered group psychotherapy with schizophrenic patients].

After a short review of group psychotherapies with schizophrenics the actual situation concerning the therapy by means of physical movements (Bewegungstherapie) in Swiss psychiatric hospitals is described and noted that programs and experiences of the specific therapeutic effects of physical exercises are still lacking. Based on earlier clinical experience, some psychoanalytic views and an experimental study (about depersonalisation and disturbances in body-experience) the bodily-centered (korperzentrierte) group psychotherapy is proposed and its therapeutic value discussed in 4 cases. Definitive conclusions are not yet reached in this pilot-study. Finally there is refered to a bigger experimental study that will follow.
