New Studies of Adults' Responses to the Bender Gestalt
The Bender-Gestalt test originated in 1936 with Lauretta Bender for evaluating perceptual and motor development of children 4 to 11 yr. old. Koppitz (1964) developed a scoring system for the test. Lacks (1984) contributed normative data for testing adults. Seven studies since Lacks' which have contributed to normative data of adults' responses to the Bender-Gestalt are reviewed here
Ecstasy Is a Dangerous Drug
Monitoring Active Volcanoes
Effectiveness of Methadone Maintenance for Heroin Addiction
Self-Induced Water Intoxication in Mental Patients
Research on self-induced water intoxication in mental patients, although limited, is reviewed and invites investigation of causes, relation to psychotropic drugs, and effective treatment procedures
Psychoendocrinological Aspects of Affective Disorders
Psychoendocrinological studies have opened a new approach to understanding affective disorders. In this study, the links of affective illnesses to changes in endocrine secretions--particularly adrenal, gonadal, growth, pineal, thyroidal, and prolactin--were reviewed with the object of adding to the number of depressed whose symptoms can be relieved
Psychophysiological Aspects of Nightmares, Night Terrors, and Sleepwalking
Monitoring sleep through electroencephalography and electroculography has identified the different sleep stages in which nightmares, night terrors, and sleepwalking occur. Questionnaire surveys have supplemented the findings of case studies of these sleep disorders. Neurotransmitters operative during these sleep disorders have enlarged the knowledge of the psychophysiological dimensions especially of nightmares
Psychopharmacological Therapy of Deviant Sexual Behavior
Psychopharmacological approaches to controlling male deviant sexual behavior, especially sexual recidivism and sexual deviants on probation, have been reported in psychiatric literature. In Europe, the drug cyproterone acetate, and in the United States, medroxyprogesterone acetate, Provera, and in the long-acting form, Depo-Provera, have all benefitted exhibitionists and pedophiliacs, and reduced sex drive in sexual deviants. The combination of p…
Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome
Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome is a disabling reaction to neuroleptic drugs recently discussed in psychiatric literature in Europe, Japan, and the United States. It is rare but potentially fatal and is more likely to occur in men, especially young men, than in women. The cause is unknown, but dopamine depletion in the brain is suspected. Treatment usually begins by withdrawing the neuroleptics and then providing supportive therapy for the usual s…
An Overview of Cocaine Use and Abuse
Use of cocaine is traced from South American Indians through 19th century European patterns into 20th century United States. Different methods of using cocaine produce effects with different potencies; the free-basing method is most potent and potentially most lethal and addictive. Addiction to cocaine has a different pattern than the physiological effects of heroin but is no less real, perhaps even more dangerous
Marijuana's Effects on Human Cognitive Functions, Psychomotor Functions, and Personality
Marijuana is complex chemically and not yet fully understood, but it is not a narcotic. Like alcohol, marijuana acts as both stimulant and depressant, but it lingers in body organs longer than alcohol. Smoking marijuana can injure mucosal tissue and may have more carcinogenic potential than tobacco. Research has indicated that marijuana intoxication definitely hinders attention, long-term memory storage, and psychomotor skills involved in driving…
Lithium Therapy for Mania and Depression
The literature on lithium carbonate was reviewed for clues to the processes involved in mania. Lithium has proved effective therapeutically and prophylactically for mania and depressive disorders. Children and adolescents as well as adults tolerate lithium well. Side effects rarely are serious enough to necessitate having lithium therapy. Some success with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorders has broadened the scope of lithium's therapeuti…
Psychological Factors in Ulcerative Colitis
Almost 50 years ago ulcerative colitis was included among the seven classical psychosomatic diseases. The psychodynamics and personality structures specific to ulcerative colitis sufferers were sought and the main-stay of treatment was psychotherapy. However, for the past decade the psychogenic approach to this disorder has been replaced by physiological and immunological explanations and treatments. The history of medical and psychogenic explana…
Trends in Research and Treatment of Affective Disorders
Trends in research on affective disorders were reviewed. Studies which described the contribution of neurotransmitters and neuroendocrines to depression, unipolar and bipolar, and manic states were cited. Women more frequently suffer from affective disorders but women's response to different therapies sometimes is more favorable than men's. Age and married status influence sex differences in the incidence of affective disorders. Symptoms of pain …
Psychophysiological Aspects of Migraine Headaches
So complex are migraine headaches that the interplay of both psychological and physiological components is needed to explain and relieve symptoms. The difficulties of defining and delimiting migraine attacks, etiological theories and treatment approaches were reviewed with emphasis on the psychosomatic aspects
Renewed Interest in Attention
Interest in attention, once prominent declined, but psychological investigations have returned this phenomenon to prominence as a topic of research. The older views of attention of James and Judd, as well as experimentation on selective attention initiated in World War II are recalled. Broadbent and Treisman's theories together with recent physiological and brain-research findings on attention have given impetus to renewed research. Finally, expe…
Alienation Syndrome among Male Adolescents in Prestige Catholic and Public High Schools
Dimensions of Davids' alienation syndrome, egocentricity, distrust, pessimism, anxiety, and resentment, among Catholic patochial high school males (CHS; N = 40) were comparable to those reported for predominantly Jewish public high school males (PHS; N = 80). These dimensions were assessed by projective and direct techniques. CHS showed no significant differences from PHS on all 3 measures but significantly more variability on the direct test. Th…
Learning in Homosexuality
Distinguishing between sex in the biological sense and sex-role or sex-identity as a reflection of culture allows room for research of psychology and psychiatrists on the subtle influences of learning in homosexuality
College Students' IQS
Wechsler-Bellevue IQ scores obtained by college level Ss were reviewed. Some indications suggest a rise in college students' IQ level. WAIS scores for college-age Ss in different areas of the United States were compared in the interest of gathering local norms, as an aid to guidance personnel in recommending students for college eligibility
Drug Addiction
Teacher Role Expectations of Teacher Candidates
Senior practice teaching groups were administered the Teacher Practices Questionnaire (TPQ) before and after their practice-teaching experience; sophomore students in an educational psychology course were also administered the TPQ at the beginning of this course. Results for all groups were compared with those reported by Sorenson, et al. on a group enrolled at the University of California, Los Angeles. Though significant differences on the five …
The Identity Image of the College Student
Erickson's concept of identity-image and some of the crises in its development are applied to college students. Environmental presses of different colleges as researched by Pace and Stern are seen as pertinent to the growth of the college student's identity-image
Correlational Study of the MMPI and GZTS
