The cerebrospinal fluid was found to contain 0-06 per cent. protein, excess of globulin, and 12 lymphocytes. After his admission his wife supplied the information that seven years previously he met with an accident on his bicycle, as a result of which he remained in a local hospital for three weeks with concussion. Shortly after the accident he would at times lose the power of speech for a few seconds, and she added that his present state began with an epileptic fit which 'left him paralysed on the right side, and speechless.' In view of the excess of cells in the cerebrospinal fluid an abscess was suspected and Mr. Colledge decompressed over Broca's area. A cyst, from which 2 oz. of fluid were removed, was there found attached to the pia. There was no abscess.

THE responses of a homoeothermal organism to an extremely low environmental temperature and their adequacy in maintaining the body temperature at its normal level are measures of heat regulatory efficiency. A study of the reactions of schizophrenics exposed to extreme cold may reveal defects of aetiological importance. Experiments on heat regulation are particularly applicable for the discovery of any inadequacies in dementia precox at the physiological level because the stimulus (cold) may be made sufficiently intense to tax the central thermogenetic apparatus to the utmost. Lavoisier,' in 1777, observed that a man consumes more oxygen when the temperature of the air is 150 C. than he does when the environmental temperature is 32.50 C. Rubner,2 among others, has demonstrated by calorimetric experiments that the heat production of the body is increased when there is a fall in the external temperature, the body temperature remaining constant. This phase of heat regulation was termed by Rubner 'chemical regulation' in contradistinction to 'physical regulation' which consists in an adjustment of the heat loss of the body when exposed to ordinary environmental temperature changes. Chemical regulation consists of a reflex increase in heat production in response to a very low external temperature when physical regulation or diminution of the heat loss no longer suffices to maintain the body near its constant temperature. Variations from the normal in the oxygen consumption rate of schizophrenics have been reported by Hoskins.3 However, the lower oxygen consumption rate under basal condition that he reported may be interpreted as being due to the inactivity of the schizophrenic or may be consequential to the disease, a factor which Hoskins did not omit in his interpretation.

INJURY to both occipital lobes of the brain was a result of a gunshot lesion affecting the posterior part of the skull. As in other cases seen during the war a distinct localization was observed for different qualities of optic disturbance. Blindness for the form of objects was an isolated defect more definitely observed than in any case previously examined. Deficient perception of form and shape was limited to the visual sphere and no disturbance was observed with regard to form and shape in any other region of the brain, e.g. by touching, writing and drawing. Goldstein and Gelb previously described a disturbance for visual form not limited to the visual region in a case of a lesion of the occipital lobe, but according to Kleist's opinion this resulted from a brain lesion outside the visual sphere.

The Origins of Love and Hate. By Ian F. Suttie, M.D. With a preface by Dr. J. A. Hadfield. London: Kegan Paul. 1935. Pp. 275. Price lOs. 6d. net. DR. IAN SUTTIE has been a contributor to this JOURNAL in days gone by, and his numerous articles on psychopathology have shown him to be possessed of a well-stored and critical mind. These features are seen in the reasoned and animated criticism with which he here assails Freudian theory. He adduces evidence to show that Freudian theory has from the outset been coloured by the temperament of Freud himself; from Freud's own lips Dr. Suttie illustrates a ' specially inexorable repression ' that has resulted in a grudge against mothers and a mind-blindness for love. Mother attachments of the individual are, for Freud, 'lost in a past dim and shadowy,' and the Mother-Cults of antiquity are for him a repellant and insoluble mystery. In temperate language and with incisive argument Dr. Suttie proceeds to exemplify this bias on the part of the founder of the theory-a bias of which others have been aware and which, unfortunately, has reproduced itself in not a few of his disciples. It has found perhaps its crudest expression in such a statement as 'Every mother is her child's first seductress '-an opinion so monstrous as to prove of itself that its originator is incapable of understanding what maternal love means. It is good indeed that someone has been found who is so well equipped as Dr. Suttie to cross swords with the exponents of ill-considered views of the kind. But there is much more than destructive criticism of Freudian theory in this finely written work, in which the meaning, psychology, function and expression of love are constructively discussed with scientific insight and a large measure of sound common sense. Love is, properly, separated and distinguished from appetite and desire, and cultural interest is shown to be something very different from substitute sex gratification.

ALTHOUGH, from the legal points of view, all individuals certified as of unsound inind have the same designation, every large mental institution contains a great variety of different types of patient, especially since the passing of the 1930 Mental Treatment Act. In Part I of the Annual Report of the Board of Controlfor 1933, for example, it was stated that at least 12-2 per cent. of patients, certified under the Lunacy Acts, in general mental hospitals were mentally defective but not insane. As the years go by, an institutional population becomes saturated with chronic types, for many of the acute cases are discharged recovered. It is interesting and of some practical importance to know exactly what types of patients inhabit a mental hospital at a given time and how the resident population differs in composition from a sample of admissions. The present communication gives an account of a survey, the object of which was to obtain full information about the incidence, in Severalls Mental Hospital, of the various types of mentally disordered and mentally defective patients. Every resident patient was seen by the writers, and the records of each case were examined; a diagnosis of the type of mental disorder was made and also an estimate of the patient's initial mental capacity. Naturally, in some instances when the mental disorder had caused dementia, the estimate of the patient's initial mental capacity had to be made upon historical evidence rather than from direct examination. While recognizing that, according to existing knowledge, any classification of mental disorders must be incomplete, the writers felt that the schedules 'Forms of Insanity ' and ' Causes and Associated Factors of Insanity ' in the Rules of the Commissioners in Lunacy could not offer a satisfactory basis for the proposed survey. The diagnosis recorded in the hospital registers is often made at a time too early in the observation of the patient to be accurate and complete. In many cases the restrictions of the Commissioners' Schedules actually compel the recording of a diagnosis known to be inaccurate. A frequent example of this is the case of a patient whose certification has been necessitated by symptoms of mental deficiency 'not amounting to imbecility '; the medical officer must then either register the patient as an imbecile, or coright.

[125] A confusional state associated with infective endocarditis.-DAVID SHAW. Jour. of Ment. Sci., 1935, 81, 435. THIS case is interesting as showing the development of a confusional'state associated with infective endocarditis. In the light of the post-mortem findings, the extensive area of ulcerative endocarditis, the damage to the brain and widespread area of infarction, it appears highly probable that the patient's dulled mental state, her emotional instability and incontinence, were due to repeated small embolic heemorrhages in the frontal lobes and hemispheres generally, and possibly in the thalamus. It suggests, too, that the confusional states which sometimes occur in advanced cases of endocarditis (apart from septic endocarditis) might be explained on this physical basis of repeated embolic haemorrhages in the brain, not large enough or situated in the necessary position to cause the usual marked physical lesions of hemiplegia, etc., but sufficiently destructive to damage the associational paths subserving the higher centres of cerebration.

treatment procedure in their delusional formations. One of the melancholia patients improved considerably. Three others showed a mild transitory improvement and the other six remained unchanged. Slight variations in weight were noted after treatment in both the praecox and involutional cases. There was a tendency to low basal metabolism value prior to treatment in the dementia pr2ecox group. Insignificant changes were noted in the oxygen consumption rate during and at the end of treatment in both groups. There was a larger number of cases with relatively low blood counts prior to the institution of treatment in the melancholic group as compared to the dementia praecox group. Improvement in the blood picture at the end of treatment was noted in the involutional melancholia patients. C. S. R. [144] Treatment of schizophrenia with prolonged narcosis.-PAUL HOCK. Psychiatric Quarterly, 1935, 9, 386. ON the basis of his experience the author outlines the following indications for prolonged narcosis in this psychosis. All acute schizophrenics with excitement, depression or apprehension, are suitable cases, the most favourable results being obtained in cases of acute catatonic excitement. Less favourable results are observed in stuporous cases and in mute, manneristic catatonias with stereotypies and other psychomotor phenomena. Quiet, self-absorbed catatonics are also suitable to lessen the autism and diminish the negativism. The procedure employed is preliminary to a psychotherapeutic approach. Chronic or slowly developing forms of catatonics are not much influenced by prolonged narcosis. No beneficial results were observed in cases of dementia simplex or in schizophrenics accompanied with mental deficiency unless episodes of excitement or depression were present. The treatment is used primarily to control the excitements: no effect upon the psychosis per se can be expected. Quiet, paranoid schizophrenics are not influenced. Cases where the psychosis was precipitated by an actual conflict in the environment respond most favourably to the treatment. Better results are obtained when certain psychotherapeutic measures are employed after completing the narcosis. Occupational therapy should be immediately used where it is practicable. In three different groups in the author's clinic, scopolaminluminal, avertin-luminal, and pernocton-luminal were the narcotics respectively used.

Improvement in the blood picture at the end of treatment was noted in the involutional melancholia patients. C. S. R. [144] Treatment of schizophrenia with prolonged narcosis.-PAUL HOCK. Psychiatric Quarterly, 1935, 9, 386. ON the basis of his experience the author outlines the following indications for prolonged narcosis in this psychosis. All acute schizophrenics with excitement, depression or apprehension, are suitable cases, the most favourable results being obtained in cases of acute catatonic excitement. Less favourable results are observed in stuporous cases and in mute, manneristic catatonias with stereotypies and other psychomotor phenomena. Quiet, self-absorbed catatonics are also suitable to lessen the autism and diminish the negativism. The procedure employed is preliminary to a psychotherapeutic approach. Chronic or slowly developing forms of catatonics are not much influenced by prolonged narcosis. No beneficial results were observed in cases of dementia simplex or in schizophrenics accompanied with mental deficiency unless episodes of excitement or depression were present. The treatment is used primarily to control the excitements: no effect upon the psychosis per se can be expected. Quiet, paranoid schizophrenics are not influenced. Cases where the psychosis was precipitated by an actual conflict in the environment respond most favourably to the treatment. Better results are obtained when certain psychotherapeutic measures are employed after completing the narcosis. Occupational therapy should be immediately used where it is practicable. In three different groups in the author's clinic, scopolaminluminal, avertin-luminal, and pernocton-luminal were the narcotics respectively used.","PeriodicalId":50117,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Neurology and Psychopathology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1936-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1136/jnnp.s1-16.63.285","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"63913356","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}
