Full textAbstract:
SynopsisHysterical symptoms are defined as complaints that are not fully explained by organic or functional neurological disease. Hysterical symptoms are common in neurological practice, accounting for about 1% of neurological diagnoses. Of those with neurological hysterical symptoms, about 80% will not have the hysterical personality, and about 80% will not have Briquet's hysteria. Some 60% will have a physical disease and perhaps as many as 50% will have recognizable psychiatric illness, particularly depression. Others may have unrecognized physical or psychiatric illness. Many hysterical symptoms may be understood in terms of abnormal illness behaviour.

Full textAbstract:
A study of the case notes of 52 patients with a diagnosis of hysterical personality disorder showed that 27 had no recorded features of that condition, but were frequently described as aggressive, uncooperative, or attention-seeking. Although 60% were recorded as depressed, only 17% received antidepressant treatment. In an experimental study, the core traits of the disorder were found to have a low inter-rater reliability. Two patients, who had received hospital diagnoses of hysterical personality disorder, were shown to display behaviour that caused psychiatrists to make a diagnosis on wholly inadequate information.

Full textAbstract:
The term ‘conversion’ implies a correlation between conversion symptoms, hysteria, and hysterical personality. A clinical case of conversion related to chronic post-traumatic disorder, with paranoid features, was successfully treated by anti-psychotic drugs; it illustrates the non-specific nature of conversion symptoms. Mechanic's concept of ‘illness behaviour’ is a frame-work that meets the need for a broader understanding of conversion symptoms.

Full textAbstract:
The changes in the concept of psychopathies and psychopathic reactions of the prominent German psychiatrist O. Bumke who in the first edition of his textbook (1919) was oriented on E. Kraepelin’s systematics of psychopathic personalities but included hysteric personality in psychopathies and tried to delineate the special type of “affectepileptoids” are analyzed. In the second edition of the Textbook (1924) O. Bumke subjected E. Kretschmer’s typology of schizoids and “prototypical” constitutional approach to psychopathies systematics to convincing criticism. In the third edition of the Textbook (1929) O. Bumke accepted partly “constitutional” approach and suggested his own typology of schizoid types among which he marked out fanatics, dissatisfied, emotionally cold and “enemies of the society”, and some originally described “tymopathic” types: “gentle egoists”, “gentle autists” and anxious. Other psychopathic types: paranoid, explosive, hysteric, dypso- and poriomans from O. Bumke’s point of view appeared on heterogenous constitutional ground. From the third edition of the Textbook O. Bumke separately described hysterical “attitude” underlining the meaning of environmental factors in the formation of hysterical personality, and two types of paranoic personality development: litigious and sensitive in O. Bumke’s comprehension were corresponding to paranoic “attitude”. The peculiarity of O. Bumke’s concept of psychopathies and psychopathic reactions was its accent on the prevalence of mixed and transitive forms in the clinical reality and corresponding impossibility for differentiation.

Full textAbstract:
In the article, problematic questions of diagnostics and therapy of non-psychotic mental disorders (NPMD) in female patients of climacteric age with hysterical symptom complex are considered. Efficacy of psychotherapy (PT) in NPMD, hypnopsychotherapy in hysterical states: hysterical neurosis, neurasthenia and obsessive-compulsive neurosis is indicated. In treatment of NPMD, PT by creative selfexpression is successfully used. It is highlighted that PT forms conscious-critical attitude of patients toward themselves. Combination of PT with physiotherapy in hysterical conversional symptoms has been described. In hysterical manifestations neuroleptics are recommended, in neurotic depressions – antidepressants of mild action. In severe hysterical state, psychopharmacotherapy (PPhT) with tranquilizers and neuroleptics is applied on long-term basis. Stable recovery in dissociative and hysterical disorders has been shown. In vegetovascular disorders in structure of climacteric syndrome (CS) vinpocetine, in psychoemotional manifestations phenibut was administered. In therapy of hysterical neurosis, “minor neuroleptics”, hypnosuggestive therapy, social rehabilitation were applied. Effective group PT of psychogenically conditioned disorders in asthenicand anxiety-depressive symptoms is effective. Complex therapy of NPMD in hysterical and asthenic neurosis, obsessive-compulsive neurosis has been suggested. Organization of specialized preventive examinations for early revealing of persons with personality pathology is based. Efficacy of a number of medications in periand post-menopause – SSRIs and gabapentin, during menopause paroxetine, in depressions of non-psychotic level – pyrazidol, coaxil, in neurotic hypochondriasis sulpiride and quetiapine, diazepam, in climacteric vegetative and mental disorders hormone replacement therapy (HRT), hormonal therapy, PPhT and PT, in neurovegetative symptoms of CS – antidepressants, in psychovegetative syndromes – SSRIs, in dysthymic disorders – tianeptine (coaxil), in involutional hysteria – psychotropic medications and medications of neurometabolic action, in psychoemotional disorders of mild and moderate degree – deprim, in depressive disorders of mild and mean severity – valdoxan has been shown. In climacteric depression, hormonal therapy stops climacteric symptoms.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to identify prognostically unfavorable immune and endocrine development criteria hysterical disorders. The study involved patients with hysterical personality development, hysterical neurosis and healthy donors. Immunological reactions were performed by standard methods, hormonal - immune enzyme analysis. Changes in cellular and humoral immunity in the form of a reduction in the absolute number of T- and B-lymphocytes, decrease the metabolic activity of neutrophils, the ratio of circulating immune complexes of different molecular weight, and lower cortisol levels indicate the involvement of the immune endocrine reactions in the pathogenetic mechanisms of the development of the protracted forms of conversion disorders, and confirm the need for surveys of the immune and hormonal status of patients suffering from hysterical personality development. Identified by the authors the changes in neuro-immune-endocrine system can be regarded as a prognostically unfavorable in the development of hysterical disorders, and involve the use of immunomodulators in the treatment of these diseases.

Full textAbstract:
After 1991, the proclaimed Second Republic of Estonia restores individual freedoms, which leads to the problems of individualism, personal borders, transgressive behavior, identity, equality and corporeality in Estonian art after the 1990s. In this article, the author will examine the works of key Estonian contemporary artists who address the problems of identity crisis and “split personality”, which are so characteristic of modern Estonia, where issues of cultural memory, national identity and disciplinary authority are acutely relevant. Marge Monko and Liina Siib analyze the construct of “femininity” and various female cliché images through the sociocultural phenomenon of hysteria. As a result, the author comes to the conclusion that in the context of the identity crisis that reigns in modern Estonian society due to historical and geographical circumstances, artistic representations of a split, “hysterical” personality, embodying established social and cultural patterns that affect individuals, become especially relevant. Through both self-analysis and analysis of the collective unconscious, the artists seek to reveal the reasons for the oppression of “deviant” behavior, as well as the influence of “foreign” culture on Estonia.

Introduction. There are many factors that significantly affect the success of an investigation. Among such factors, the knowledge of the investigating authorities about the identity of the accused is of particular importance. Studying the identity of the accused is a complex process. Today, amongst the most promising areas, there are studies that are dedicated to the study of the identity of the accused. Such studies are aimed at adapting psychological typologies to the practice of forensic personality studies. Theoretical Basis. Methods. Among the currently existing psychological typologies, the most simple, and at the same time quite widespread, is the typology of accentuated types. Due to the existing limits on the size of a single study, it is reasonable to concentrate on the development of a methodology for the accused within the framework of one particular psychological type, common among criminals. The presence of hysteroid personality traits was determined using two components: Characterological questionnaire of Leonhard – Schmishek, Tomsk typological personality questionnaire. Results. For a hysterical person communication is a means of calling attention to themselves, but not establishing contact with people. Such a person has a loud voice, a fast pace of speech and instability of these elements. The instability in speech is expressed by singling out individual words to which the hysterical person draws attention, returning after that to the former narrative style. The hysterical person often manages pause. These pauses are of such duration and frequency, so as to allow the individual time to convey his thoughts to the listeners. Pauses in speech perform not so much a syntactic as a semantic function, varying in frequency and duration depending on the situation and on the role that he choses for himself. The hysterical person has uneven intonation, a medium range of voice. The hysterical person is prone to carrying out group crimes to enhance his group status. The hysterical person is rarely inclined to perform violent crimes alone, only if he is in a state of hysterical arousal. In a criminal hierarchy, he or she very rarely gains respect. He or she is highly likely to be recruited. The likelihood of re-educating such a person in is extremely low. The likelihood of reoffending by such a person is extremely high. Discussion and Conclusion. The study showed sufficient uniqueness of the speech, behavioural and autobiographical characteristics of persons of the hysteroid type.

Objective. To explore the hypothesis that bruxism is a mechanism in hysteria by comparing features in hysteria, bruxism, hostility, and local complaints in bruxers. Method. We evaluated 33 patients with mild bruxism, 52 with moderate, 55 with severe, and 42 with extreme bruxism with the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Index and the Cook-Medley scale for hostility. Results. Scores of hysteria and hostility increased from the mild to the moderate, severe, and extreme bruxism subgroup (p<0.0001). Mean local complaints increased with the severity of bruxism and with scores of hysteria (p><0.0001). The group that presented higher scores in both hysteria and hostility and greater local complaints as compared to two groups, low hysteria and high hostility, and low hysteria and hostility (p><0.003). Conclusion. Scores in hysteria e hostility increased with the severity of bruxism, and the number of local complaints increased with scores in hysteria and severe bruxism, suggesting that bruxism may be a hysterical mechanism in temporomandibular disorders/bruxing behavior patients>

Full textAbstract:
Hysteria has been a topic of interest throughout the history of medicine; those who have been concerned with it include Galen, Paré, Sydenham, Charcot and Freud. Anyone who chooses to proclaim its importance, therefore, might be asked to provide some reason for gilding the lily. Controversies have always attended the subject, and different disciplines still disagree over it. The diagnosis, which occurs in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9, 1978) has been deprecated on both sides of the Atlantic (Slater, 1965; DSM-III, 1980) and also advocated with varying degrees of fervour (Walshe, 1965; Lewis, 1975; Merskey, 1979). It is a subject of historical study (Veith, 1965; Walker, 1981; Shorter, 1984); there have been at least nine monographs on it since 1977 (Horowitz, 1977; Krohn, 1978; Jakubik, 1979; Merskey, 1979; Roy, 1982; Riley & Roy, 1982; Colliganet al.1982; Weintraub, 1983; Ford, 1983), and there is a steady flow of paper on the topic of hysteria or its major subdivisions (eg, hysterical personality, conversion symptoms) or pseudonyms and partial pseudonyms (eg, somatisation disorders, borderline personality, and operant pain).

Introduction. Particular problems in diagnosing hysteria are determined by its inordinate changeability, which explains the traditional ambiguity of ideas concerning its essence and the specific diagnostic problems. As we know, a significant number of patients with conversion and dissociative disorders present at neurological clinics, thus constituting the distinct cohort of “difficult patients”.Study aim. Identifying the current clinical-dynamic regular patterns of hysterical disorders (taking into account the temporal pathological morphosis) for purposes of providing substantiation for their psychopathological essence and the optimal therapeutic-diagnostic tactics in respect of the pertinent cohort of patients.Materials and methods. Between 2016 and 2018 at the “Practical Neurology” Medical Center we have examined 80 patients (71 women and 9 men) aged between 17 and 72. The criteria for inclusion into this group were the presence of hysterical symptoms as the main disorder in the clinical picture, and meeting the criteria for being the so-called «difficult patient», which are well-known in clinical practice. After having excluded the presence of organic neurological pathology, and taking into account the specifics of their current complaints (which correspond to conversion and somatoform disorders), the patients have been seen by a psychiatrist on condition of having obtained their informed consent. The examination was carried out by means of collecting anamnestic data from patients and people closely involved with them. Disorders were diagnosed in accordance with the ICD-10 criteria and with the use of the brief scale for assessing the mental status of MMSE (Mini-mental State Examination). Statistical processing of obtained data has been carried out with the use of Statistica 10. rus software. Comparative study of frequencies has been carried out with the F-test – φ* criterion; differences with р <0.05 were seen as reliable.Results. Hysterical disorders in the examined patients have been differentiated within four clusters: 1) motor disorder (n = 24 (30 %)); 2) sensory disorders (n = 29 (36.2 %)); 3) somatoform disorders (n =5 (6.3 %)); and 4) dissociative disorders (n = 22 (27.5 %)). Comorbid mental disorders in the examinees were represented by: 1) affective disorders F30–39 (n = 42 (52.5 %)); 2) schizophrenia spectrum disorders F20–29 (n = 20 (25 %)); 3) personality disorders F60–69 (n = 14 (17.5 %)); 4) organic mental disorders F00–09 (n = 3 (3.75 %)); 5) posttraumatic stress disorder F43 (n = 1 (1.3 %)). Hysterical disorders manifest high comorbidity with other mental disorders, above all, – the affective ones, schizophrenia spectrum disorders, and the pathology of personality. The nature of comorbid pathology determines the clinical-dynamic regular patterns of hysterical syndromes, the diagnostic problems of prime concern, and the tactics of therapy. Conclusion. Interdisciplinary approach contributes to improving the effectiveness of therapeutic-diagnostic assistance provided to patients with hysterical and comorbid mental disorders.

Full textAbstract:
This article analyzes the formation of visualization of hysterical insanity in art on the example of the canvas by Pierre-Andre Brouillet A Clinical Lesson at the Salpêtrière. Considering the long practice of feminization of insanity, we can conclude that Brouillet captured the phenomenon of the “Charcot regime”, exposing its discussion fields. By fixing the female pathological body in a certain place, he demonstrated two discursive tricks: how patriarchal institutions defined a woman as a being devoid of her own opinion, and how a woman “evaporated”, became an object under male power influence, demonstrating the significance of the term “phallocula- centrism” and scopophilia of the second half of the 19th century introduced by L. Irigaray. As a result, it reflected the characteristics of hysteria that allowed this disease to feminize insanity and introduce it into the visual culture of the time: mimetism, simulation, representa- tion, mimicry, cataloging, and registration. The female body became a pent-up “alphabet”, embodying the idea of Sigmund Freud’s mirror and Jacques Lacan’s reasoning about the nature of the hysterical personality type. The disease, which has “thousands of guises” and exists solely due to visual appearance, revealed not only the problems of Patriarchy of most social and power institutions, but also relationships. As a result, the acute and controversial colloquial characterization of “hysterical”, which was included due to the popularity of the visual image of a mentally ill woman created at the Salpêtrière, is still becoming a relevant topic for research in modern visual practices.

Full textAbstract:
Recently, there has been a dramatic rise in the number of case reports of multiple personality disorder (MPD). The phenomenology of the disorder is described and theories on aetiology are discussed. A review of the recent literature reveals a poverty of information on reliability of diagnosis, prevalence, or the role of selection bias. It is argued that iatrogenic factors may contribute to the development of the syndrome. There is little evidence from genetic or physiological studies to suggest that MPD represents a distinct psychiatric disorder. It is assumed that MPD is an hysterical symptom, and an attempt is made to catalogue the predisposing factors and influences that may lead to the clinical presentation.

Full textAbstract:
This study presents an empirical test of Coyne, Thompson, and Whiffen's statement that the Depressive Experiences Questionnaire does not measure the psychoanalytic constructs it is supposed to measure. Convergence was evaluated between the Depressive Experiences Questionnaire's Dependency and Self-criticism scales and clinicians' ratings on hysterical/anaclitic and obsessional/introjective personality styles in a sex-balanced sample of 56 Flemish outpatients. In line with expectations from Blatt's research paradigm, convergence was observed between the Dependency scale and ratings on hysterical/anaclitic style in the full sample as well as female and male samples separately; convergence between the Self-criticism scale and ratings on obsessional/introjective style was only observed for men. This study yielded no evidence for divergence of the Depressive Experiences Questionnaire and Blatt's psychoanalytic theory. Research is needed to evaluate the sex-specific validity of these subscales.

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines the family background, premorbid personality traits and adverse life events preceding childhood depression. The non-depressed group proved more likely to have experienced pre-school bereavement and familial disturbance, and to come from the more deprived background; there was also an excess of premorbid anxiety and hysterical personality traits in this group. School phobia and premorbid obsessional traits were associated with the depressed group. Although there was an association between depression and the total number of adverse life events, this was more substantial when the perceived impact of the events was taken into account. Of the individual classes of life event, only illness and a change in social relationships were associated specifically with depression.

Full textAbstract:
BACKGROUND: Elevated Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) scores on the hysteria (Hy) scale are reported in several forms of pain. Previous results were possibly biased by diagnostic heterogeneity (psychogenic, somatic and mixed pain syndromes included in the same index sample) or Hy heterogeneity (failure to differentiate Hy scores into clinically meaningful sub-scales, such as admission of symptoms [Ad] and denial of symptoms [Dn]).METHODS: To overcome this drawback, 48 patients diagnosed as having aDiagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4thedn, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) diagnosis of “pain disorder associated with psychological factors” were compared with 48 patients experiencing somatic pain excluding psychological factors, and 42 somatic controls without pain.RESULTS: MMPI Hy and hypochondriasis (Hs) scores were significantly higher in the pain disorder group than in control groups, who scored similarly. MMPI correction (K) scores and Dn scores were similar in the three groups, whereas Ad was significantly higher in the pain disorder group and lower and similar in the two control groups, respectively. In the pain disorder group, Ad and Dn were negatively correlated, whereas in control groups they were unrelated.CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that whereas a pattern of high Hs and Hy scores together with a normal K score might characterize patients with a pain disorder associated with psychological factors, elevated Hy scores per se do not indicate hysterical traits. In the pain disorder group, elevated Hy scores reflected the Ad subscale alone, indicating a strikingly high frequency of distressing somatic symptoms. They tend not to repress or deny the emotional malaise linked to symptoms, as the hysterical construct expects. The pain disorder designation should be considered a nonhysterical form of somatization.

The article is devoted to assessing the psychological characteristics of individuals convicted of extremist and terrorist crimes. MMPI test was used to examine 915 prisoners in various regions of Russia. The results of the analysis of the profiles of three categories of individuals are presented: extremists, terrorists and convicted for both extremist and terrorist crimes. In all three subgroups, a personality conversion profile was identified, testifying to the hysterical personality traits of the criminals and conflicting qualities, combining high activity with psychasthenic traits, making it easy to perform certain actions, often not well thought out and hasty, but evoking a guilty feeling that is supplanted by the psychological mechanism of denial. The expressed conversion is supposedly a consequence of unreacted psychotrauma. The results of a questionnaire survey, in which the main motives for the crime are named offense and revenge serve as a definite confirmation of this.

IntroductionThe national service is a duty for every Tunisian citizen. The knowledge of psychiatric causes of unfitness for military service would enable developing standardized procedures for selecting and psychiatric assessment of young candidates.ObjectivesDetermination of the diagnostic categories, frequency and factors associated with psychiatric causes of unfitness for military service.MethodThis was a retrospective, descriptive study, performed on medical files of candidates examined between the 1st of January and the 31st of December 2015 at the military hospital of Tunis.ResultsEight hundred and seventy-two subjects were examined as a part of an assessment for mental fitness for military service. They were male, single, with an average age of 23.73 ± 3.5 years. Alcohol was consumed by 17.9% of subjects, cannabis by 12.8% and psychotropic by 4.7%. Fourteen percent had self-mutilation, 8.5% had criminal record and 5.3% had tattoos. Military unfitness was found in 80.8% of cases. The main causes of unfitness were anti-social personality disorder (40.6%), hysterical neurosis (14.9%), adjustment disorders (14.5%) and limited intellectual level (7.5%). The average length of service before found unfit was 9.14 months for anti-social personality, 5.94 months for adjustment disorders and 1.78 months for psychotic disorders. This period was significantly longer for the personality disorders (8.62 months) compared to psychotic disorders (P = 0.013) or to non-psychotic disorders (5.05 months, P < 0.001).ConclusionThe evaluation on the mental ability of military personnel must be performed at an early date, given the financial, material and human consequences that would result from a delayed diagnosis.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

ObjectiveThe problem of mental disorders in patients with breast cancer is relevant due to the high prevalence of pathological changes in the mental health patients, insufficient development of clinical typology of psychosomatic correlations of the contribution of constitutional features.MethodsNozogeny disorders are clinically heterogeneous and are represented by two nosologic categories: reaction and nosogenic patho-characterological personal development. The basic method of work was a clinical follow-up and statistical research methods (method using contingency tables and Fechner coefficient method using the χ2 – test).ResultsThe manifestation of a nozogeny reaction is closely correlated with his premorbid personality characteristics. Anxious-depressive nozogeny reaction was recorded in 17 patients of the first sample with high direct correlation (coefficient Fechner F = 0.76, P < 0.01) with respect to accentuation of personality in the alarm type, and the weak direct link to the personal characteristics of the affective (bipolar) range (F = 0.22, P < 0.01). Anxious-nozogeny dissociative response was detected in 9 patients with hysterical (55.5%) and expansive schizotypal (vershrobene) (44.4%) lung cancer with a significant (F = 0.65, P < 0.01) a direct correlation with constitutional hyperthymia, anxiety-hypomanic nozogeny response was observed in patients c schizotypal RL (n = 4) paired with symptoms of persistent hyperthymia (F = 0.39, P = 0.012).ConclusionPatho-characterological development of personality are formed on the remote catamnestic stage breast cancer and show the clinical heterogeneity of differentiation into 4 types: (1) the type of hypochondriacal dysthymia, (2) the type of “paranoia struggle”, (3) in an “aberrant hypochondria” and (4) the type of “new life”.Disclosure of interestThe author has not supplied his/her declaration of competing interest.

Full textAbstract:
The article defines the connection between the individual peculiarities of time perception and the levels of personal life activity. The results of the empirical study suggest that the diversity of levels in the perception of time in the adolescent psyche depends on a number of factors, including innate biological cycles t, ending with a complex subjective sense of time (in the context of age-related changes). Accordingly, it eliminates the contradiction between the uncertainties of the opposing time of the subject. Theoretical analysis of the factors that determine the perception of a teenager's personality provides an opportunity to make a prediction in social and psychological development in the context of accelerated social life. From the considered theories of understanding of time, the most comprehensive concept in the context of adolescent life activity is the definition of time as a directed value (vector), the unambiguous definition of which implies not only a system of units of measure (second, minute, hour, day, month, year, century), but and the constant starting point from which the account is maintained. The article made a comparative analysis of hysterical traits of the subjects with middle and high activity level of life, as well as the analysis of memories of adolescents with medium and high level of life activity. On the basis of the empirical research the features of time orientation of adolescence personality are revealed and factors that influence the formation of time measurement accuracy. The domestic and foreign theoretical approaches, empirical researches of concepts of the time orientation of the personality and vital activity in particular are analyzed. On the basis of the empirical research, features of the age orientation of the adolescent age and factors influencing the formation of the accuracy of time measurement are revealed.

Full textAbstract:
Framed by sensational Ripper stories that turned fact into �ction and lurid murder into gripping reading matter, the extraordinary popularity of Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1886), George du Maurier's Trilby (1894), and Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897) clearly indicate that the �n de si�cle was a time enthralled by the concept of split selves and sadistic impulses, of insidious male desires metaphorically and literally inscribed on the body of unconscious, hysterical, or hypnotized women. With his John Norton narratives of the late 1880s to mid 1890s, George Moore made a signi�cant contribution to this important cultural preoccupation in late-Victorian literature and culture. In this essay we trace the development of the theme in Moore's A Mere Accident (1887), Mike Fletcher (1889), and "John Norton" (which appeared in his collection Celibates, 1895). We read Moore's stories in the context of the emerging discourses of psychoanalysis and its reliance upon and relation to earlier work on the theories of the "double brain" and "multiplex personality". We also draw on works of late-nineteenth-century sexology-Havelock Ellis's Studies in the Psychology of Sex (1897-1910) and Richard von Krafft-Ebing's Psychopathia Sexualis (�rst published in German, 1886)-in order to explore the psycho-sexual nature of the malaise that af�icts the Norton character and highlight his ambivalent role in the "accident" that befalls the vicar's daughter, Kitty Hare. In addition, we pay close attention to the proto-Freudian language of dreams that haunt Kitty in the aftermath of her assault, arguing that in his "John Norton" narratives Moore engaged with the evolving concept of trauma. These stories, we argue, re�ect an important and hitherto neglected aspect of late-Victorian narrative explorations of hysteria and sexual pathology.

The purpose of the investigation was to clarify the importance of gender factor in the clinical picture of recurrent (RD) and bipolar depression (BD) with somatization. Total of 99patients had taken part in the testing including 70(70.7%) women and 39(39.3%) men. The general trend identified was intensive anxious and somatized signs in clinical structure of depression. In comparison with the men the female patients with RD had predominantly “psychic” and “physical” signs of anxiety, and men had more “typical” traits (depressive somatization). In the clinical picture of BD gender differentiation had shown the signs of anxiety again. In other words, the women with BD had mostly the signs of “mental” anxiety and neurosal (phobic anxiety and hysterical conversion) somatized signs, while male patients with BD more often had vegetal equivalents of anxiety (anxiety disorder) making hypochondriac ideational abnormalities (ideational somatization) in combination with physical signs of depression. In both testing groups women had the common traits – frequent complaints about paracenesthesia over extended periods (SSI); it can show some inclination to formation of a morbid personality, exacerbating a patient’s condition. The findings indicate that gender differentiation expresses mainly in bipolar course of an affective disease in the clinical picture of somatized depression. The study outcome suggests the improvement of diagnostics and somatized depression treatment.

As a result, the number of elderlypeoplein need of psychological helpissig nificantly increasing. At the same time, dueto subjective and objective reasons, they may not always behavea dequately during psychological counseling, preventing specialists from solving their psychological problems. It was fo undthat the problem clients of the psychologists hould include: anxious individuals; individuals who experiencefear and phobias; hostileandaggressiveindividuals; unmotivatedclients; customers with inflatedrequirements; individuals who experienceguilt (loss); payingcustomers; hysterical personalities; obsessive personalities; paranoid personalities; schizophrenic personalities; antisocial personalities; individuals who abusealcohol; individuals in a state of depression and suicidalideation. Counseling for the elderly can be carried out on the following issues: severeloss and acutegrief, lossoffunctionalability, difficulties or conflictsin relationships and communication, understanding and changingliving conditions, adaptation to new life circumstances, needs assessment, work withstress, loss of meaningin life , fear of death, etc.

AbstractThis article investigates the literary technique with which Patrick McGrath opposes two narrators and illustrates how the subtle story of one of them, Constance, deconstructs the apparently dominant discourse of the second narrator, Sidney. This article furthermore refutes the current critical interpretation of Constance as a hysteric and demonstrates that it is Sidney who deliberately constructs this notion of hysteria and who himself – paradoxically – can be linked to Histrionic Personality Disorder. This article finally explores how Constance experiences what Abraham and Torok called transgenerational haunting and how this psychoanalytic theory is reinforced and commented upon by a series of metaphors.

Full textAbstract:
The article examines the judgements of representatives of psychoanalysis of the early 20th century on the life and work of Fyodor Dostoevsky and, in particular, his novel "Crime and Punishment". The works of such famous psychoanalysts and followers of psychoanalysis as Alfred Adler. Jolan Neufeld, Sigmund Freud and Erich Seligmann Fromm are analysed. In the article "Dostoevsky" Adler, noting the contradictory nature of the characters, points to the general direction of movement for them towards finding inner peace, which, in turn, reveals a similarity with the nature of the writer himself. The researcher's particular attention is drawn to the theme of the boundaries of what is permitted and what is not permitted in Dostoevsky's work. Neufeld in his work "Dostoevsky" indicates that the basis of artistic depiction in the work of Dostoevsky is the emotional experience of the writer himself, whose personality makeup the psychoanalyst assesses as hysterical, which, in turn, turns out to be characteristic of his heroes. The researcher also notes the writer's increased attention to the category of the unconscious and highlights a number of features characteristic of Dostoevsky's poetics. In the well-known work of Freud "Dostoevsky and Parricide", the influence of "unconscious impulses" in the work of the Russian classic on the structure and peculiarities of plot lines in his works is indicated. The founder of neopsychoanalysis, Fromm, also draws attention to the category of the unconscious, but he is more inclined to interpret the behaviour of the heroes taking into account social and worldview factors. On the whole, the considered studies of psychoanalysts laid the foundations for a close study of the features of psychologism in Dostoevsky's work.

AbstractFrom the ancient times up till now hysteria has been a mysterious and intriguing issue. The authors of this article using mainly the work of Etienne Trillat of the same title, present the most important facts from the history of hysteria. Our work shows how notions of hysteria known initially as uterine dyspnoea, which was the term used by Hippocrates in the seventh tome of his “Collected Works” evolved step by step. At the end of 1st century AD a newcomer to Rome, Soranus of Ephesus, as an experienced anatomist in his “Treatise on midwifery and the diseases of women” moved away from the old ideas of Plato and Hippocrates equating uterus to an animal. How did views on hysteria develop throughout Middle Ages, Renaissance or World Wars period? In this article the authors are trying to determine the nature of hysteria as well as what remained from hysteria in the contemporary times, depicting hysteria’s elusiveness as a disease, many difficulties with its definition and connection with many shocking events in history of mankind. From the ancient sages, through Kramer, Sprenger, Wier, Harvey, Willis, Sydenham, Blackmore up until Mesmer, Freud and many others. From hysteric witches, beings suffering from vapors, through sensitive, fragile and musing women up until mythomaniacs, nymphomaniacs and what we define today as histrionic personality disorder. In the words of French neurologist and a creator of psychiatry – Charcot – hysteria existed forever, everywhere and all-time. Why did it vanish though? Authors of this article will address this problem in the final part, trying to determine the cause.

SummarySeventy-nine patients with a diagnosis of hysteria were compared, on a number of variables, with a control group of neurological patients without psychiatric morbidity, and with psychiatric patients free from somatic complaints. Demographic information was obtained, and rating scales for the assessment of personality and mood, were administered, as well as Pilowsky's Illness Behaviour Questionnaire. The data confirm the high incidence of affective disturbance in particular, depression and anxiety in patients with hysteria. There was no link between hysteria and early hospitalisation, although associations were found with sexual disturbances, a past history of vague or undiagnosed illness, affective inhibition, and denial. Relationships between personality and illness behaviour reveal links between personality dimensions and the reporting of illness.

After being diagnosed of infertility, she debuted with dissociative episodes and somatization symptoms. After that, she suffered several depressive episodes. At the moment, all the clinical symptoms support the diagnosis of histrionic personality disorder.ResultsHistrionic Personality Disorder can be found in the cluster B group of personality disorders. They often present in an overly dramatic, erratic or emotional manner. They may fulfil their need for attention through speech and behaviour that draws one's focus of attention toward themselves, and also demanding and manipulative in interpersonal relationships. There are high comorbidity rates in those who suffer from HPD with other diagnoses.ConclusionsHistrionic Personality Disorder appears to be one of the least threatening diagnosis among personality disorders as those affected are high functioning and do not seek relief for the disorder itself. There is also very little research on HPD which makes treatment options limitless.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Full textAbstract:
The study presents the identification and study of the characteristics of the formation and dynamics of various forms of deviant behavior in the clinic of neurosis-like states of residual-organic genesis, that is guided by the principles not previously used in the study of the studied pathology. Behavioral disorders were studied in a comparative aspect in two clinical variants, which are asthenohyperdynamic and astheno-adynamic manifestations of the cerebrastenic syndrome, which is a part of the structure of a neurosis-like state. The age dynamics of behavioral disorders was studied at different stages of ontogenesis, including childhood, prepubertal and puberty, by comparing the obtained data labeled by the subheadings "Period of the first age crisis", "Period of the second age crisis" and "Puberty period". The study found that age response forms reflect the low personal resources of adolescents and the massiveness of negative social influences. As the analysis of clinical material has shown, during puberty, violations in the sphere of cravings became more distinct. Disorders in the sphere of inclinations at this age are closely correlated with the features of the somato-endocrine metamorphosis and with the unfavorable influence of socio-psychological factors. Lack of sexual desire was in direct proportion with a pronounced delay in puberty. Violations in the sphere of sexual desire, reflecting the nondifferentiation of the sexual attitudes of adolescents with delayed puberty, were characteristic of those studied with pronounced volitional immaturity, in particular with such signs as suggestibility, a tendency to imitation. During puberty, the clinical picture of the studied adolescents revealed more clearly the qualitatively new pathological properties of the personality due to the development of excitable, unstable, less often labile and hysterical manifestations. In contrast to psychopathic behavior in sick children and adolescents, no correlation was found between the first signs of deviant behavior and cerebrastenic disorders. In all cases, behavioral disturbances are caused by unfavorable micro-social factors. Based on the follow-up data, the study has found that the studied group of sick children and adolescents is characterized by both favorable dynamics (22) and a negative outcome (20 patients). This suggests that the pubertal period is characterized by a polymorphism of behavioral disorders and is one of the decisive factors in the prognosis of the further development of the child.

About 30 – 60% of patients complain on malfunctioning removable laminar dentures whatever the manufacturing method was chosen. An alternative method to correct complete anodontia is the construction of fixed implant-retained prostheses. Plan of prosthetic treatment for individuals with complete anodontia is elaborated based on a number of factors including initial examination, analysis of clinical and additional laboratory findings, and choosing the optimal and accessible option for a patient. The objective of this study was to analyze the impact of the patient’s psychological type on selecting the treatment tactics to correct complete anodontia in the lower jaw and on the level of the patient’s motivation regarding the choice of the prosthetic restoration. Materials and methods. 45 patients with compete anodontia who required prosthodontic treatment were included into the study. The clinical examination was performed in 2 stages. The patient’s psychological type was determined according to the House classification (1950) during the primary clinical examination. The patients were distributed into the groups according to the data obtained. We evaluated the decisions on the proposed priority options of the treatment plan made by the patients of each groups. Results. Our study demonstrated 62.2% of the patients (28 people), who sought help at the prosthetic dentistry clinic, had clearly defined needs. An option of intraosseous dental implants placement and then fixed denture placement without extensive reconstructive interventions was chosen by 8 patients (66.7%) of the study group 1. The patients classified as exacting mind conduct themselves in conformity with the personality characteristics typical for this class in the process of elaborating the treatment plan. 88.9% of people classified as indifferent psychological type tended to choose the simplest and the least expensive treatment options. Conclusions: 1. A key character trait of the patients classified as philosophical minds is the credibility to dentists. Decision making on choosing the optimal option is only possible when patients are completely aware of possible risks and complications. 2. Adherence to a clear treatment plan according to the established requirements is a priority for the patients classified as exacting minds. 3. When making a decision on the treatment plan for the patients with an indifferent psychological type, it is necessary to ensure the patient’s ability to follow all recommendations and prescriptions. 4. When dealing with the patients with hysterical psychological type, the doctor-patient mutual understanding should be built up taking into account the emotional instability of the patients.

Forty-six patients, 9 male, 37 female, presenting to an ear, nose and throat department with a principal complaint of globus sensation were investigated by radiology, manometry, endoscopy and prolonged ambulatory pH monitoring to exclude a physical basis for their symptoms. Patients also underwent assessment by the Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI) and General Health Questionnaire (GHQ). The only organic abnormalities detected were an abnormal degree of oesophageal acid exposure (seven patients) and oesophageal spasm (one patient). Female patients were neurotic introverts on EPI testing; males were stable ambiverts. High GHQ scores were present in 13 females (35%) and one male and there was a significant correlation between N scores (in the EPI) and GHQ scores. We propose that globus is a useful, single-symptom model for the study of conversion disorders.

Full textAbstract:
A future revolutionary, Alesha Karamazov is, at nineteen, an inexperienced boy who lives in a monastery and who has been considered strange since birth. Fedor Dostoevskii endows him with hysteria—then a serious psychopathology with convulsions that were clinically seen as analogous to epilepsy, the morbus sacer from which Dostoevskii himself suffered. Recognized as an epidemic problem, hysteria in this novel is elaborately deployed as a symbol of Russia's social ills and the underlying cause of farreaching personality changes in Alesha (for better or worse), preparing him for a heroic destiny. Although hysteria was soon altered and later eliminated as a clinical syndrome, James L. Rice enables us to read the novel for the first time in the light of documented medical history.

Full textAbstract:
This study evaluated the effectiveness of the MMPI and other personal factors in predicting both the length of time the volunteer would be in the program and the quality of performance of the volunteer in a Companions for Children program. The MMPI scores of 67 volunteers, over a 2-yr. period, were evaluated. There were some significant correlations between longevity in program, specifically occupation, education, and scores on the Hysteria scale of the MMPI were negatively correlated. The staff-rated quality of the volunteers, education, and occupation were significantly correlated, as well as scores on the Psychasthenia scale of the MMPI. A forward stepwise regression, performed for longevity and rated quality, showed education, scores on the F scale, Hysteria scale, and Psychasthenia scale were the four best indicators of longevity. The best four indicators for rated quality were the F scale, Hypochondriasis scale, Schizophrenia scale, and the Social introversion-extroversion scale. Although the MMPI was a good screening device, it was not an adequate predictor of eventual longevity or quality in the program.
