The first one (published in 1967) analyzed a schizophrenic composer-patient's composition created during the acute phase of schizophrenia and consi - dered the hiatus discursivitatis as one of the main characteristics of the pathology of expression in his musical works. The second study is the patients' catamnestic follow-up after 13 years. In that late, chronic, residual phase of schizophrenia with overwhelmingly negative symptoms, the mannieristic catatonia dominated the clinical feature, as well as the pathology of musical expression. These two studies build a bridge between music and psychopathology in a way unique in the literature and greatly demonstrate the utilization of musical expression in the phenomenological approach of schizophrenia. Due to Berta - lan Petho's high level of musical literacy, his knowledge of music theory and harmony, we have an insight through a specific window into the severe self-disturbance and alienisation determining the schizophrenic world of experience. Petho's approach is still relevant today: it fits conceptually to the most novel phenome-nological framework of the psychopathology of schizophrenia, i.e. to the ipseity-hyperreflexivity model, as well as to theories that draw a parallel between the schizophrenic reification and alienisation and the 20th-century modernism.</p>","PeriodicalId":35063,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatria Hungarica","volume":"36 3","pages":"271-284"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39592811","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This little boy has also suffered many damaging environmental effects during his own life, losses, stressful situations, conflicts. In addition, the losses, traumas and injuries suffered by his parents also shaped his development, the development of his difficulties and symptoms. The range of early fractures was compounded by the trauma at Ákos, the loss of his biological mother giving up on him and adopting him. A few days after his birth, he was already adopted by his adoptive parents, whose own traumas as well as relationship difficulties prevented the child from developing optimally from the beginning. Paternal abusive behavior, which manifested itself in several forms, including partner abuse, as well as tension and inequalities in the relationship, also had a significant effect on the development of the child's emotional and social development and symptoms. Abuse is cross-generational. There are complex causes and patterns in the background of early relationship pathologies, which can lead to developmental disorders and developmental trauma of the child. It is important to map this network of connections in order to better understand what environmental effects the child is trying to respond to - classified as abnormal and difficult to tolerate, but - with his adaptive behavior, coping attempts and cries for help.

The history of two families].","authors":"Miklós Péter Kalapos","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>The alcohol dependence of a family member redraws familiar relationships and creates a dysfunctional network. Therefore, the relationship between the individual and the family, the interactions and processes that occur must be examined during the therapy in order to understand the behavior of an alcoholic. The observations obtained in stu - dying the role of family members in the development and maintenance of pathological alcohol use disorders provide the scientific basis for this. Living in a family is realized by fulfilling role expectations related to the role based on the family status. In the case of discrepancy between the role expectation associated with the status and the individual's ability to fulfill the role, a dysfunctional situation is seen. In the present work, the relationships in the families of two alcohol de - pendent patients were analyzed. In both families, it was possible to identify the conspirator/looking away family member, who was either the spouse or the mother, sometimes both. The dysfunctional fathers were also recognized and there was a self-sacrificing family member in both families, who was the daughter in both cases. As the relatives themselves con - tribute to the survival of both alcohol dependence and the alcoholic game, efforts should be made to involve the family in therapy. Since the most important relationship of a married man is optimally his wife, the interaction between them is decisive for the survival of addiction. This led to the birth of the \"wife of alcoholic\" technical term. But this approach probably needs to change, as the male/female ratio for drinking began to decline as early as the 1980s. Thus, presumably the \"partner of alcoholic\" concept better describes today's reality. The involvement of family members in the therapy is necessary for the recovery of addict patient. However, there is a serious difficulty, the alienation of family members from the addict. In addition, the available services are often insufficient for recovery, as already pointed out by Hungarian authors. And further, statistics indicate a decrease in the patient retention capacity of the care system. Therefore, it would be important to rethink the role and possibilities of the addiction care network, and modify its financing.</p>","PeriodicalId":35063,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatria Hungarica","volume":"36 1","pages":"40-52"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"25449807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
