Its long and fascinating history began in the 18th centu- ry. In 1952, it was at Sainte-Anne Hospital that Jean Delay and Pierre Deniker used the first neuroleptic, chlorpromazine, to cure psychiatric patients, putting an end to the expansion of psychosurgery. The Department of Neuro-psychosurgery was created in 1941. The works of successive heads of the Neurosurgery Department at Sainte-Anne Hospital summa- rized the history of psychosurgery in France. Pierre Puech defined psychosurgery as the necessary cooperation between neurosurgeons and psychiatrists to treat the conditions causing psychiatric symptoms, from brain tumors to mental health disorders. He reported the results of his series of 369 cases and underlined the necessity for proper follow-up and postoperative re-education, illustrating the relative caution of French neurosurgeons concerning psychosurgery. Marcel David and his assistants tried to follow their patients closely postoperatively; this resulted in numerous publica- tions with significant follow-up and conclusions.

  • NEGLECT and ANOSOGNOSIA a CHALLENGE for PSYCHOANALYSIS Psychoanalytic Treatment of Neurological Patients with Hemi-Neglect
    Psychoanalytische Perspectieven, 2002, 20, 4: 611-631 NEGLECT AND ANOSOGNOSIA A CHALLENGE FOR PSYCHOANALYSIS Psychoanalytic treatment of neurological patients with hemi-neglect Klaus Röckerath1 Introduction This paper deals with two phenomena often observed in patients with a lesion to the right hemisphere of the brain: neglect and anosognosia. Fol- lowing an overview of the neglect syndrome from a neuroscientific per- spective I will present preliminary results and hypotheses formulated by our group based on the psychoanalytic treatment of seven such patients. It may be somewhat unusual for neurologically impaired patients to undergo psychoanalytic treatment. But in recent years, a combined effort to under- stand the underlying mechanisms of psychic phenomena has evolved in psychoanalysis and the neurosciences. Hence, the field of neuro-psycho- analysis established itself, studying the psychic implications of neurologi- cal damage in order to understand and gain insight into the "psychic appa- ratus", as constructed by Freud, from a different point of view. It is well known that Freud, a trained neurologist, hoped that one day the mecha- nism of psychic functions would be understood from a neurologist's point of view. He was convinced that the answer to the psychic problems he encountered with his patients must be rooted in the matter of the mind: the brain. That is why groups of psychoanalysts and neuroscientists all over the world have begun to exchange news and views about their common interest: the human mind. Both sciences basically deal with the same object. One way psychoanalysts can contribute is by looking at neurologically impaired patients in a psychoanalytic framework to establish what is dif- 1.The Neurops ychoanalytic Study Group Frankfurt/Cologne, Germany.

  • A Brief History of Mental Illness and the Buffalo Psychiatric Center
    From Asylum to Psychiatric Center: The evolving role of inpatient facilities in mental healthcare Early Mental Health Treatment and Facility-based Care. Before the efforts of Dorothea Dix and others in the mid-1880s, mental disorders were recognized by early civilizations and with various attempts at treatment including some form of facility-based care. Early Treatments: (Prior to 500 BCE) Some early civilizations attributed mental disorders to demonic possession. Ritualistic ceremonies, talismans, and what could be considered by some cultures as torture were among the treatments. Early Treatments: Ancient Greeks (500 BCE - 600 AD approximately) The ancient Greeks are among the first civilizations acknowledged as recognizing a body and mind connection. Treatments emphasized physical health: personal hygiene, good diet, fresh air, and exercise Early Facilities: Ancient Greeks People would come to live in open air temples and priests would minister to them, sometimes using what we would now call drama therapy. Early Facilities: Ancient Indians (circa 230 BCE) The Indian emperor Ashoka founded 18 facilities specifically for the treatment of the sick. Early Treatments: Ancient Romans (500 BCE - 1st Century AD approximately) In addition to treatments used by the Greeks, Romans employed laxatives and purgatives to rid the body of the “poisons” believed to be the cause. 7 Early Facilities: Ancient Romans 291 AD The Romans built a specialized temple for the treatment of the sick on the island of Tiber. Early Treatments: Middle Ages (5th-15th Century AD) The concept that mental disorder could be attributed to demonic possession or the influence of the devil persisted from earlier times.

There is little acknowledgement that a true disease is likely to rise and fall in incidence. In outlining the North Wales History of Mental Illness project, this paper seeks to provide some evidence that psychiatric diseases do rise and fall in incidence, along with evidence as to how such ideas are received by other historians of psychiatry and by biological psychiatrists.

  • Treatment of Unawareness of Deficits in Patients with Acquired Brain Injury
    J Head Trauma Rehabil Vol. 29, No. 5, pp. E9–E30 Copyright c 2014 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Treatment of Unawareness of Deficits in Patients With Acquired Brain Injury: A Systematic Review Anne-Claire Schrijnemaekers, MSc; Sanne M. J. Smeets, MSc; Rudolf W. H. M. Ponds, PhD; Caroline M. van Heugten, PhD; Sascha Rasquin, PhD Objective: To review and evaluate the effectiveness and methodological quality of available treatment methods for unawareness of deficits after acquired brain injury (ABI). Methods: Systematic literature search for treatment studies for unawareness of deficits after ABI. Information concerning study content and reported effectiveness was extracted. Quality of the study reports and methods were evaluated. Results: A total of 471 articles were identified; 25 met inclusion criteria. 16 were uncontrolled or single-case studies. Nine were of higher quality: 2 randomized controlled trials, 5 single case experimental designs, 1 single-case design with pre- and posttreatment measurement, and 1 quasi-experimental controlled design. Overall, interventions consisted of multiple components including education and multimodal feedback on performance. Five of the 9 high-quality studies reported a positive effect of the intervention on unawareness in patients with some knowledge of their impairments. Effect sizes ranged from questionable to large. Conclusion: Patients with ABI may improve their awareness of their disabilities and possibly attain a level at which they personally experience problems when they occur. At present, because of lack of evidence, no recommendation can be made for treatment approaches for persons with severe impairment of self-awareness in the chronic phase of ABI. We recommended developing and evaluating theory-driven interventions specifically focused on disentangling the components of treatment that are successful in improving awareness.

  • Summary Eating Disorders Are a Growing Concern Amongst Adolescent Populations
    Doctorate in Educational and Child Psychology Chris Rogers Case Study 1: An Evidence-Based Practice Review Report Theme: School Based Interventions for Learning How effective are school-based universal preventive interventions at reducing eating disorder risk factors in adolescent males? Summary Eating disorders are a growing concern amongst adolescent populations. It has been argued that school-based universal preventive interventions are a convenient way to try and address this issue due to their wide-reaching access to adolescents in society through the education system. Interventions of this kind can be administered to whole cohorts of adolescents with the aim of ameliorating risk factors of eating disorders, preventing acquisition of eating disorders in later life. Research around eating disorders typically focuses on females due to larger numbers of diagnoses in this population, but males are becoming more of a focus due to their increasing rates of diagnoses. Research suggests though that preventive interventions for eating disorders are developed around findings focussed on females. This review analysed studies to assess how effective these kinds of interventions are with male adolescents. After in depth analysis of five studies, it was found that these interventions have little impact on reducing risk factors for eating disorders with male adolescents. Issues regarding the measures used by the studies and bias towards the needs of females were discussed, as well as areas for future development. 1 Doctorate in Educational and Child Psychology Chris Rogers Introduction The prevalence of eating disorders in adolescent populations has been of significance for many years and is still an ongoing area of research (Maganto, Garaigordobil, & Kortabarria, 2016; Muise, Stein, & Arbess, 2003; Neumark-Sztainer, 1996; Shisslak, Crago, Neal, & Swain, 1987).

  • Biological Psychiatry Sketched—Past, Present, and Future
    1 BIOLOGICAL PSYCHIATRY SKETCHED—PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE Jaak Panksepp J.P. Scott Center for Neuroscience Mind & Behavior, Department of Psychology, Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, Ohio OVERTURE It is a difficult task to capture the history of biological psychiatry in a brief essay. Let me frame this modest effort in a timeless humanistic perspective. Psychiatry is the study and treatment of troubled mental lives. Its ultimate goal is to heal broken spirits. At its core, it is an attempt to better understand human thoughts and emotions and to allow this understanding to inform the healing arts. Despite our modern scientific hubris, we know rather little about how brains truly construct our minds and passions. Partly, this is because few scholars have come to terms with the need to understand the evolutionary neural dynamics that affective experiences are ultimately made of. It is all too easy to accept emotions as primitive “givens” and proceed toward a superficial understanding based on words, arbitrary definitions, and the quiddities of logic rather than biology. But the greater and more significant Textbook of Biological Psychiatry, Edited by Jaak Panksepp ISBN 0-471-43478-7 Copyright 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 3 4 BIOLOGICAL PSYCHIATRY SKETCHED—PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE depths of this mystery have to be plumbed by an integrative neuroscience that has barely emerged. It is surely not off the mark to claim that the single most important scientific question for biological psychiatry is the accurate decoding of the basic neural nature of affective values and related cognitive experiences. Emotions and moods guide most of our thinking processes and behavioral choices, whether well-arranged or deranged.

Abnormal psychology The area of psychological investigation concerned with understanding the nature of individual pathologies of mind, mood, and behavior. Absolute threshold The minimum amount of physical energy needed to produce a reliable sensory experience; operationally defined as the stimulus level at which a sensory signal is detected half the time. Accommodation The process by which the ciliary muscles change the thickness of the lens of the eye to permit variable focusing on near and distant objects. Accommodation According to Piaget, the process of restructuring or modifying cognitive structures so that new information can fit into them more easily; this process works in tandem with assimilation. Acquisition The stage in a classical conditioning experiment during which the conditioned response is first elicited by the conditioned stimulus. Action potential The nerve impulse activated in a neuron that travels down the axon and causes neurotransmitters to be released into a synapse.
