T1 - Changes of personality and depression during treatment of drug addicts N2 - In accordance with various other studies. the present longitudinal study gave no clues for specific personality variables or traits 01' drug addicts. Personality factors did not allow a valid prediction of the kind 01' th~apy termination. nor were there clear deviations from the norm. Analyzed as a group. the addicts showed only minor changes that appeared over the course of treatment. These results correspond to data reported on alcohol dependency (cf. Wanke 1987). A more differentiated picture is gained when stable and changeable components of personality and analyzed separately. Changeable components are of special relevance for treatment. From the current study these were characteristics of action regulation, that is, activation and impulse control, social interaction, and somatic reactions (sleep disorders, bodily reactions to drug deprivation). For relapse prevention, attention should be given to stable, persistent, problematic components. Persistent suicidal ideas turned out to be one such aspect. Like the differentiation between state and trait anxiety, stable and variable components could also be separated for other domains of personality when they are used to describe the course of treatment. How can personality concepts and instruments for assessment be utilized for treatment? The claim of therapists to predict the outcome of a treatment may be realized for only a delimited period of time. Especially at such critical points as shortly before relapse, a firm prediction might be possible only rarely (Wanke 1987). Lack of predictability could be a warning which, however, can be verified only afterward. According to the current results, one benefit of personality concepts could be to specify targets of change on an individual basis and thus clarify effects of therapeutic interventions. Personality concepts can help patients to better understand their problems and to recognize changes as weil as persistent areas of vulnerability.

T1 - The effects of neuroleptics on facial action in schizophrenic patients N2 - This paper describes the influence of neuroleptic therapy on facial action in drug-naive schizophrenics. In a comparative study of medicated and unmedicated schizophrenic patients, the coordinates of 12 small light-reflecting points, attached to subjects' faces, were computer-recorded and analyzed automatically during a semistandardized clinical interview. In addition, facial activity in videotaped interviews was coded using the Facial Action Coding System (FACS). Each sample group comprised of eight patients with the DSMIII- R diagnostic criteria "schizophrenia" or "schizophreniform disorder". Subjects were studied on two occasions, one shortly after admission to the hospital, the other three weeks later. Group I was unmedicated during the first session, whereas group2 was medicated throughout the study. Three weeks after the start of medication, at the second interview, both recording methods showed a reduction in facial activity and facial expression across all subjects in group 1. The facial action of patients in group2, however, remained unchanged. N2 - Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit war die Untersuchung des Einflusses von Neuroleptika auf die Mimik von unmedizierten schizophrenen Patienten. Wiihrend eines halbstandardisierten klinischen Interviews worde die Beweglichkeit von zwolf kleinen, licht-reflektierenden Punkten, die in das Gesicht von medizierten und unmedizierten schizophrenen Patienten geklebt worden, automatisch im Zeitverlauf gemessen. Erganzend wurde der mirnische Ausdruck mit dem Facial Action Coding System (FACS) kodiert, wofiir die Patienten gleichzeitig mit Video aufgenommen worden. Jede der beiden Gruppen bestand aus acht Patienten mit den DSM-IIIR- Diagnosen "Schizophrenie" oder "Schizophrenieforme Storung". Die Patienten worden einmal direkt nach der stationaren Aufnahme und ein zweites Mal nach drei Wochen untersucht. Die Patienten der ersten Gruppe waren zum ersten Zeitpunkt nicht mit Neuroleptika mediziert, wiihrend die der zweiten Gruppe schon zu diesem Zeitpunkt entsprechende Medikamente einnahmen. Es konnte eine Reduktion der mimischen Beweglichkeit des gesamten Gesichtes im Sinne einer neuroleptisch bedingten Hypornimie der primiir Neuroleptika-unbehandelten Patienten bei der zweiten Untersuchung beobachtet werden. Die andere Gruppe Schizophrener, die zu beiden Zeitpunkten mit Neuroleptika behandelt waren, zeigte keine Veriinderung in ihrer mimischen Beweglichkeit.

A1 - Seiler, S. T1 - Partnership and depression in Parkinson's Disease N2 - In this study, the influence of partnership on depression and coping with Parkinson's disease has been investigated. Twentythree single female patients, 46 married patients (23 female, 23 male) with unimpaired partnership and 42 patients (21 female, 21 male) whose partnership had worsened since the onset of disease, were compared with regard to depression and self reported extent of psychosocial distress. Single female patients tended to have higher depression scores than patients in a stable partnership, especially in items concerning personal worthlessness and senselessness of life. Patients differed in the extent of distress concerning social behavior, psychological problems/anxiety and efficiency. Within the group of single female patients two subgroups emerged: (1) patients with low extent of distress in all aspects; (2) patients who were highly distressed by psychological problems and physical disability but weakly distressed from social interaction. Male and female patients living in a stable partnership reported only a generally low to moderate extent of distress. More than half of the male and female patients who reported an impairment of their relationship also had scores of moderate to severe depression. These patients also had the h~ghest extent of distress in each ofthe aspects assessed. The results are dicussed with regard to possible interactive effects ofthe disease, quality of the partnership and availability of coping strategies.
