[Events in the lives of 120 chronic alcoholics. Preliminary study].

We have applied, with necessary modifications, life-events methodology, to the study of nature and temporal distribution of life-events occurring in 120 chronic alcoholics. Total number and distribution of life events undergo some variations with age, sex, ethnic group and socio-professional level in chronic alcoholics. We have specially analysed the temporal curve of life events before, during and after the year of beginning alcohol abuse. Frequency of life events dramatically rises during this year and remains abnormally high in the five following years. These data have some meaning for pathogenesis and behavioral consequences of chronic alcoholism.

[Acute psychoses and mood disorders in Parkinson disease. Role of antiparkinson therapy].

L-DOPA has progressively replaced atropinic substances in the treatment of the Parkinson's disease but its superiority is not evident in all domains. The same as these substances, it can occasion a secondary psychical pathology essentially presented by affective disorders and psychotic phenomena. The proposed study lays on the comparison between two parkinsonian groups, one undergoing a dopaminergic treatment the other one not. The hallucinary and confusing properties and to a lesser degree the depressive properties of L-DOPA are correlated to risk factors amongst which the average advanced age of the patients has the greatest place.
