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.
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.
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.
Kaum ein anderer Teil des menschlichen Körpers ist in der Lage, gefühlsmäßige Regungen in derart differenzierter Form auszudrücken wie die Mimik. Über den Zusammenhang zwischen muskulärer Aktivität und Emotionen wird versucht, in einigen Aspekten auch die Beziehung von Stimmungen zur Rückenmuskulatur herzustellen. Vor allem wird jedoch auf die Mimik als Verständigungsmittel eingegangen. Die neuroanatomische und neurophysiologische Basis der Mimik wird dargestellt sowie der Zusammenhang zwischen Stimulus-Situation und Emotionen einerseits und Emotionen und Ausdruck andererseits. Störungen dieser Beziehungen werden anhand von psychiatrischen und neurologischen Erkrankungen erläutert. Aus dem Ausdruck von Konflikten in der Mimik werden einige Bedingungen für psychosomatische Störungen nicht nur im Rückenbereich, sondern auch bei Kopfschmerzzuständen und Streßverhalten abgeleitet.
Im Zuge der Breitbandverkabelung in Europa wird angestrebt, den Einsatz neuer möglichst kostengünstiger Kommunikationsmedien zu fördern. Dazu zählt im Rahmen eines von der EG geförderten Projektes der Einsatz von Bildtelefbtten in klinisch-psychiatrischen Einrichtungen. Da die Bildqualität der bisher entwickelten Prototypen (Low-cost-video-communication, LCVC) in Bezug auf Bildauflösung und Graustufen noch stark. reduziert ist, ist beim Einsatz evtl. mit Effekten auf die verbale und nonverbale Interaktion der Teilnehmer zu rechnen. Da gerade im klinisch-psychiatrischen Bereich 'di~ Öekodicrung von nonverbalen Signalen von großer Bedeutung ist, wurde in der vqdiegenden Studie,untersucht, inwieweit sich Emotionen anhand der Mimik auch bei stark eingeschränkter Bildqualität erk.enn~n lassen. Trotz sehr geringer Auflösung und Grauschattierung war (jie Dekodierung von diskreten Emotionen unerwartet hoch. . , Die Befunde zu einzelnen'Emotionen sowie crsut'SClllllßfolgertlngen ftir den Einsatz des LCVC im klinischen Bereich wer<Jen diskutien.

The effects of 19 meals of different caloric content on slides on palatability and hypothetical duration of consumption were investigated in 7 patients with anorexia nervosa, 17 patients with bulimia nervosa at the beginning and after 8 weeks of hospital treatment. Nine healthy females served as controls. At the beginning of treatment, palatability of low caloric food was significantly higher and hypothetical duration of consumption of high caloric food was significantly longer in patients when compared to controls. After 8 weeks, in the patients palatability of low caloric food had decreased. Dislike for high caloric food remained stable in anorexics.
