Understanding Depression
The Mystery of Madness
Book reviewed in this article: Mystical Bedlam: Madness, Anxiety, and Healing in Seventeenth Century England. By Michael MacDonald. Making It Crazy: An Ethnography of Psychiatric Clients in an American Community. By Sue E. Estroff. Mind, Mood, and Medicine: A Guide to the New Biopsychiatry. By Paul H. Wender, M.D. and Donald F. Klein, M.D
Some aspects of adoption in selected samples of adult adoptees
Various aspects of adoption--psychopathology, age at placement, agency versus independent placement, best age to tell child he is adopted, etc.--are studied in three groups of adoptees: biological parent schizophrenic or manic-depressive; adoptive parent schizoprenic or manic-depressive; biological parent with no psychiatric history. Findings raise questions about a number of common assumptions regarding adoptees
The role of genetics in the etiology of the schizophrenias
Both experiential and genetic factors have been implicated in the etiology of schizophrenia but their relative roles have been impossible to assess. Recent studies using the technique of adoption to separate the effects of “nature” and “nurture” have shown that genetic factors play an important role in the etiology of schizophrenia and may also play a role in the development of other psychiatric illnesses
A longitudinal study of early social behavior and cognitive development
Thirty boys who had been studied in a research nursery school when they were two and a half were re-evaluated when they were six and a half. Early social differences tended to correlate with later intellectual ones; children who were socially dependent in nursery school tended to show a less abstract cognitive style and lower nonverbal intellectual functioning when older. Four cases are presented
