May, 1913: She has worked efficiently, and is said to have been perfectly well. Mary F. Age: 21. Admitted to the Psychiatric Institute June 28, 1902. F. H. The mother died when the patient was five. The father was living, an alcoholic and reckless man. Four brothers and sisters died in infancy. P. H. The patient was the only surviving child.

Single. Admitted to the Psychiatric Institute April 7, 1907. F. H. The father had repeated attacks of insanity, from which he recovered, but he died in an attack at the age of 60. A sister also had a psychosis, from which she recovered. P. H. The patient was rather quiet and easily worried. When 14 she had some dizzy spells, with momentary loss of consciousness.

White to the effect that these ideas were interesting in so far as they were archaic. That is true and it is one of the profoundest truths we have to offer. At the same time it is of psychological and not strictly speaking of psychiatric value. The purpose of my paper was essentially psychiatric, to point out that there is a prognostic value in such delusion as I have tried to outline.

Indeed, the theory of all psychoneurotic symptoms culminates in the proposition that they too must be taken as wish-fulfillments of the unconscious. Our explanation makes the dream only the first member of a group most important for the psychiatrist, an understanding of which means the solution of the purely psychological part of the psychiatric problem.

I was old Duke Fergus' esquire; I carried Angus on my shoulder when Andray Dunnan's mother was presented to the lords and barons the day after she was born." "Of course he's crazy," Alex Gorram agreed. "I don't know why the Duke doesn't have him put under psychiatric treatment." "I'd put him under treatment," Harkaman said, drawing a finger across under his beard.

MACCURDY, New York: I have held the opinion for some years that the study of epilepsy was going to be of greater psychiatric moment than that of any other condition. I feel that this promise has been very largely fulfilled by the work Dr.

He claimed that stupor was not a form of insanity but an extension of a “délire mélancholique.” As Dagonet remarks, every symptom by which he characterizes stupor is a psychiatric symptom and insanity can consist just as well in the diminution as the perversion or exaltation of normal faculties. Some of Baillarger’s cases had false ideas, some apparently none at all.

Admitted to the Psychiatric Institute October 22, 1913. F. H. The father was living; he always drank, and especially in later years contributed little to the support of the family. The mother was living and said to be normal, while a brother was coincidentally insane, with a recoverable psychosis.

In the tedious hours from the space platform he'd thought too much. He was actually aware of the humiliations and frustrations most men had to conceal from themselves because they couldn't afford expensive psychiatric treatments. Frustration was the disease of all humanity, these days. And there was nothing that could be done about it. Nothing!

"And just what psychiatric help can I give you?" Holden said tiredly: "I don't like this any better than you do, Jed. I'm scared to death of space-travel. But go get your ticket and I'll tell you about it on the way up. It's a special production job. I'm roped in on it too." "Happy holiday!" said Cochrane, because Holden looked about as miserable as a man could look. He went to the ticket desk.
