The philosophical topics of psychiatry belong to three spheres of philosophy: ethics, ontology, and epistemology. In the essay the relevant principles and the trends of theory of science are mentioned and elucidated. The topics of psychiatric ethics are paternalism, autonomy, deontological conduct, and utilitarism.The theory of science in psychiatry appears to be heterogeneous: on the one hand there is biological reductionism (eliminative materialism), on the other hand there is functionalism. While biological research in psychiatry performs empirism, anthropological psychiatry as a part of the humanities searches in terms of hermeneutics. Furthermore, the biopsychosocial model is delineated. The necessity of consideration of philosophical topics in psychiatry is emphasised. Full article

Objective: Little is known about the clinical features associated with religious delusion and how religious delusion may differ across various diagnostic groups.The empirical research on this topic is relatively scanty. The primary purpose of this study was to detect the demographic, sociocultural, and clinical features of patients with religious delusion.
Method:We studied 313 patients consecutively admitted to an emergency psychiatric ward and compared patients with and without religious delusion.
Results: Patients with religious delusion were older, had started their first neuroleptic treatment earlier, had suffered less acute psycho-social stressors, and had presented a worse global functioning during the last year than patients without religious delusion.Furthermore, they received higher SAPS, BPRS total and BPRS psychotic cluster scores and were treated with a higher mean number of different neuroleptics during current hospitalisation. Religious delusion was not related to any diagnostic group.
Conclusions: Our results suggest an alternative outlook on delusions that de-emphasises the importance of diagnosis and looks instead at delusions and other major symptom areas as psychopathological dimensions. Full article

The ICD-10 subtype of coenaesthetic schizophrenia is characterised by abnormal bodily sensations. In the current study, its prevalence and symptoms are assessed.
Schizophrenic subjects (n = 112) were assessed for coenaesthetic schizophrenia according to standardised criteria. Another 16 patients with established coenaesthetic schizophrenia were assessed for type and course of symptoms.
The prevalence of coenaesthetic schizophrenia in the 112 schizophrenic subjects was 7 (6.25%). In the 16 subjects with established coenaesthetic schizophrenia, hypochondriacal prodromal symptoms had proceeded the manifestation of schizophrenia for 15 years.The most frequently reported symptoms were sensations of pain, numbness, stiffness, dysaesthesia and thermic sensations.Prior to seeing a psychiatrist, all subjects had consulted other medical specialists and some had undergone surgery for their symptoms. Many subjects had tried to self-medicate and alleviate their symptoms by performing rituals or by establishing specific daily routines.
The nosological, clinical and therapeutic implications of our findings are discussed. Full article

Clozapine is an atypical neuroleptic drug used for the treatment of schizophrenia. Because of the possible risk of agranulocytosis there are clear rules for the treatment with clozapine. A representative group of general practitioners and internists has been interviewed about their experience with clozapine as antipsychotic treatment. Nearly all of them were taking care of schizophrenic patients, but only few physicians were using clozapine. Most of them started clozapine treatment after consultating a specialist. There was some hesitation in using this substance because of little practical experience as well as insufficient information. A safe handling of clozapine was been empirically aquired by most. Nevertheless some of the clozapine using physicians were not aware of the nessessary frequency of laboratory control. Full article

Whereas the use of classical as well as new neuroleptics has been extensively studied among adult patients, it is clearly insufficiently documented among children and adolescents.The authors mention some papers on the prescription of classical neuroleptics to children and adolescents and set out the present experience of the use of clozapine, risperidone and olanzapine in child psychiatry. The importance of these new neuroleptics for child psychiatry is stressed as well as the urgent need for further studies. Full article
