Neurologische Begutachtung. By Dr. F. Stern. Berlin: Verlag Julius Springer. 1933. Pp. 189. IN this volume are set forth the views of German neurologists on various diseases of the nervous system. The opinions on so-called 'functional' disorder are of special interest. Many will disagree with the latter, as it is doubtful if any theory could be advanced that would satisfy all shades of neurological opinion. The work is well and clearly written.

50 to 200 per cent. above that of the control period. In four other cases the progress of the disease appeared arrested. No clinical improvement resulted in 13 patients, nine of whom were suffering from neuromuscular conditions in which increased creatinuria was absent or less than 50 per cent. above that of the control period. The result of these studies confirms the authors' view that both creatin and creatinin may have an exogenous origin from the amino-acids of the diet. Glycine therapy had little effect upon the distribution of nitrogen in the urine of three cases in the form of the total urea, ammonia, uric acid and undetermined nitrogen. The increase in creatin and creatinin excretion was affected in only one of these cases. Some evidence is presented that the lower motor neurone with the muscle it innervates must be functionally intact for creatin formation from amino-acids.

by overprotection as a reaction to feelings of guilt, or by an inconsistency in handling. Feeling more insecure than the average child, such children are impelled by the necessity of extracting from their parents and other adults expressions of being welcome or important. Thus they are peculiarly sensitive to attention. They derive a certain satisfaction from having their mothers upset about them, and much of their specific behaviour represents a discovery on their part of what their mothers fear the most. The conclusion is that maternal rejection is an important factor underlying the insecurity which often accompanies the clinical picture of emotional instability. C. S. R.

death. This is associated with a deep clouding of consciousness, with perceptive difficulties resulting in incompletely perceivedl Gestalten, and in motor difficulties with increased impulses to rhythmic movements. By this combination the visual motor Gestalten in copied figures are profoundly disturbed, and the figure is reproduced incompletely and distorted by perseverated strokes. In Korsakoff psychosis, with less clouding of consciousness, the motor impulses to perseverate tendencies in the figure may be more prominent. In the chronic alcoholic hallucinatory states the Gestalt, as a whole, may be well preserved, but the outlines are hazy, perhaps partly from tremulousness and partly from the motor impulse to reiterate the lines. In the alcoholic confusional states there are less marked motor difficulties, but the perceptive difficulties are in the foreground and show disturbances of integration of the parts into the whole and in the orientation of the figure on its background. In traumatic psychoses the acute confusional stages following the trauma are characterized by clouding of consciousness, with difficulties in the synthesis of the perception and the Gestalt function. Visual motor Gestalten show reversions to primitive features. Especially there is seen the disorientation of the figure on its background. As the clouding of consciousness clears and. a chronic Korsakoff picture is left, there may be typical Korsakoff features characterized by correct grasp of the figure as a whole, and its orientation on its background, with a tendency to some reversions to primitive responses and bizarre replacements of parts of the figure without interference with the structure of the Gestalt. In acute confusional states the disturbance resolves itself into difficulties in the integration of the parts of the figure to the whole, and of the whole figure to its background or situation. Tendencies to primitive reversions are secondary to this primary difficulty.

Wallenberg has made a special research into the origin of the so-called giant glia-cells.
