The historical roots of the concept of schizophrenia are (1) the nosographical era of constructing disease entities, leading to Kraepelin’s nosopoietic act of collecting polymorphous psychoses in two big groups: affective disorders and dementia praecox; (2) the model of dissociation as a psychic mechanism, applied primarily to hysterical phenomena, but later extended for the interpretation of many psychopathological manifestations. This model led E. Bleuler to propose the name schizophrenia. But in the course of Post-Kraepelin-Psychiatry this dynamic concept of dissociation was almost lost and reserved for the nowadays “dissociative phenomena”. A continuum of dissociation is proposed between normal/adaptive/healthy,modest and severe pathological syndromes (in posttraumatic stress disorder, borderline, dissociated identity disorder) and the most severe dissociation, the ego fragmentation in schizophrenic syndromes Full article

The introduction of lithium 50 years ago, followed by valproate and carbamazepine represented considerable progress in the treatment of affective disorders.However, there is still a large proportion of patients with bipolar disorders who are poor responders or do not tolerate these medications well. Among the new anticonvulsant drugs tested as mood stabilisers, lamotrigine is the best studied to date. Gabapentin and topiramate are also being investigated with fewer data available. These new medications are now proposed for treatment resistant patients and further data concerning indication and efficiency in bipolar disorder spectrum should follow. Full article

According to the Swiss penal code, younger male delinquents aged 18 to 25 can be referred to a special correctional institution. The concept of these institutions is a penitentiarian one; inmates should be educated by being engaged in professional training and structured free-time activities. Their legal basis needs to be separated from prisons and forensic-psychiatric institutions. 45 inmates have been assessed by using standardised diagnostic methods (SCID-I and -II, the Psychopathy Checklist [PCL-R] and the Barratt-Impulsivity-Scale [BIS-10] in a German translation). Results of this study are indicative of a high psychiatric morbidity:47% of these inmates had previously been treated with psychoactive substances, 31% had a history of prior suicidal attempts. The most frequent axis-1 diagnosis was that of drug dependency or abuse; 38% had more than two axis-2 diagnoses. In this sample, the diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder was more or less ubiquitous. PCL-R scores were shown to be related to juvenile delinquency and the diagnosis of borderline personality disorder Full article

In the field of child and adolescent psychiatry there are many day hospitals for children but only a few for adolescents.The concept and initial experience of the day clinic for adolescents at the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, University of Zurich, which was established in 1998, are introduced and the first data published. The development so far would suggest that the specific services of the day hospital for adolescents are not yet well known but have already received some resonance. A general limitation of day hospital treatments is that emergency cases normally cannot be taken care of. The advantages are that patients’ family and social relationships remain unaffected, stays in the ward are shortened and ambulant treatments can be intensified so that the child and adolescent psychiatric care provision network will expand and treatment costs fall.

A night hospital serves as a partial hospitalization programme for psychiatric patients who are qualified for vocational rehabilitation. In order to detect predictors for a successful rehabilitation, we investigated 60 patients of a night hospital by means of a retrospective study design covering the period from 1980 to 1994. 26 clients who were not rehospitalised within 2 years of discharge were compared with 34 clients who were rehospitalised. We found that the most important predictors for preventing further hospitalisations were the state of employment before entering the night hospital and at discharge from the night hospital. Coping behaviour, previous working performance, diagnosis, number of previous hospitalisations and compliant behaviour were less important to predict rehospitalisations. Further analysis showed that the marked economic decline in the late 80s and early 90s had less influence than expected on patients who were not rehospitalised. On the other hand we could show that the rehospitalised patients were strongly effected by the economic crisis. In addition, the latter could not derive benefit from the increasing supply of vocational training programmes. Full article
