He also reviews the new expectations society has of psychiatric hospitals and of their role. He concludes that the psychiatric hospital has still an important role to play but that its organization and aims will have to change. He gives a number of guidelines for the changes and describes his own experience as director of two psychiatric hospitals in Norway which under his guidance underwent the transition from the old to their new function. The hospital here described in detail is called 'Gaustad', situated in Oslo. He outlines the planning procedure and the way the plans were implemented. Finally he asked each professional group working in the hospital as well as the patients to evaluate the changes. By and large, all groups seemed to welcome the new way of working. Finally staff and patients give opinions as to what functions should be expected of the hospital in the future and the author gives his own ideas. He feels the psychiatric hospitals will have to change, but they have to continue to play an important and, in some ways, unique role.</p>","PeriodicalId":76382,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatria clinica","volume":"13 3-4","pages":"217-33"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1980-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18257790","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}

The objective and subjective tolerance is compared (1) with patients with continuous ambulatory adjustment up to now; (2) patients with continuous in-patient adjustments, and (3) patients who withdrew Dapotum D or changed the medicaments after 5 or more years of permanent adjustment. The study shows a significant stabilization of the clinical picture and a surprisingly good permanent compatibility. This compatibility explains itself by the reduction of objective side effects in comparison with the phase of adjustment; the simultaneous habituation to slight extrapyramidal phenomena effects a very high degree of subjective contentment (90% of the patients). This may be supported by the fact that complete withdrawal of such permanent medication causes, in 36.9% of the patients, late dyskinesias with a tendency to slow remission; the latency of which binds doctor and patient, as indicated, to the successful therapy.</p>","PeriodicalId":76382,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatria clinica","volume":"13 3-4","pages":"193-205"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1980-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"17839889","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}

The core of the idiopathic syndromes consists of the bipolar affective psychoses, including the predominantly affective-psychotic psychoses of the schizoaffective borderland. The underlying dynamic constellation is determined by restriction and expansion, whereas schizophrenic phenomena arise when the dynamic becomes unstable. One can differentiate between the central affect-psychotic type, the purely depressive dysphorias, and the schizophrenic syndromes which are complicated by a dynamic insufficiency and a structural change and which are normally no longer completely reversible. The real psychotic core of the idiopathic syndromes on which the thymotropic drugs act, lies in the derailments of the psychic dynamic of the three types: restriction, expansion and instability. Within the structural-dynamic framework the psychotic derailments and personality with its biographical and situational background are closely linked. The cope and limitations of the treatment of the idiopathic syndromes are discussed from a structural-dynamic viewpoint.</p>","PeriodicalId":76382,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatria clinica","volume":"13 3-4","pages":"139-49"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1980-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18257788","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}
