In these anomalous mood reactions it seems as if there were a definite dissociation of affect, and so there is. How then can we differentiate these emotional symptoms from the “dissociation of affect” which is regarded as a cardinal symptom of dementia præcox? The answer is that this term is used too loosely as applied to the latter psychosis.
As these two accounts do not seem to be fundamentally different for the period of the psychosis, they may here for the sake of brevity be combined. She remembered clearly going to the Observation Pavilion, and feeling frightened, as she did not know where she was going and what they were going to do with her.
This passed over to a more elated state, during which she smiled a good deal, often quite coquettishly; she sang love songs softly; on one occasion put a mosquito netting over her head like a bridal veil; or she held her fingers in the shape of a ring over a flower pinned to her breast. This, however, represented the end of the psychosis. She improved rapidly.
When he had finished he sighed deeply and said: "I am sorry to find that you are suffering from a disturbed balance of the altruistic and the egotistic cortical impulses; it is doubtless due to the intensive demands made upon the creative potential before you were completely recovered from the sub-normal psychosis due to the gas attack in the potash mines."
Some things like “Chinatown Charlie” she denied remembering, although she had a good recollection for the external facts throughout the psychosis. Her insight was superficially good, but she was reluctant to discuss her psychosis, in fact claimed that she had been made more of a lunatic by coming to the hospital than she was on admission.
The reader has noted that the states of deep stupor described in the last chapter, did not end abruptly with a sudden return to health or a sudden change to another type of psychosis. They all gradually passed away, not by the disappearance of one symptom after another, but by the attenuation of all.
Then she held a position as stenographer temporarily. When this job was over she had a number of positions that did not last long and was once idle for two months. Onset of Psychosis: Nine days before admission a young man died in the house where they lived. The next day her mother insisted on the patient and her sister going to the funeral.
The natural flow of interest in regression is to earlier types of ambition and activity. This is betrayed not merely by the thought content dealing with the youth and childhood of the patient, but also is manifested in behavior. Excluding involution melancholia there is probably no psychosis in which the patients exhibit such infantile reactions as in stupor.
When it develops during normal mental health, it disappears when its cause does. In insanity it appears in the course of a psychosis of some duration, of which it seems a part, an exaggeration of some symptom of the general condition.
Babbage's engine the title of a calculating machine on the same grounds. Thus it seems to me that a gamekeeper reasons, whether he is conscious or unconscious, whether his reasoning is carried on by neurosis alone, or whether it involves more or less psychosis. And if this is true of the gamekeeper, it is also true of the greyhound.
