الوصف: The adaptive demands of a physicians' residency program include relocation to another area, mastery of a new organizational system, and a new level of role responsibility, in addition to education and patient care activities. This study examined the prevalence of significant psychiatric symptoms in medical, surgical, and pediatric interns for three four-month intervals. Following a cohort of 39 residents over the course of their first year, using the SCL-90—R, there was an elevated prevalence ( M = 35%) of significant anxiety and depression throughout the year. Given the consistent high anxiety and depression, more research needs to be undertaken to understand the interaction of initial and ongoing adaptive demands.

مستخلص: This article focuses on schizophrenic thought disorder. The minimax problem two limiting levels of mensions for flexible, states that optimal construct organization involves "too many" and "too few" available construct dimensions for flexible, accurate discrimination of interpersonal events. The Role Construct Repertory Technique (RCRT) is a flexible methodology originally designed by George Kelly (1955) to sample and inspect the interpersonal construct organization of the individual. With some exceptions, use of the RCRT has failed to of personal construct organization, which is well recognized in theory in Personal Construct Literature.

مستخلص: This article details a study investigating the relationship of each item, separately and in combination, with neurotic depression and generalized expectancy of the source of reinforcement, or perceived locus of control. Subjects of this study were 134 college students who were enrolled in a Psychology of Adjustment course. They were 79 females and 55 males with a mean age of 19 years and approximately equal numbers of sophomores, juniors and seniors. The Purpose In Life Test (PIL) and the Zung Self Rating Depression Scale (SDS) were used to measure the degree to which an individual experiences purpose in his daily life; and to quantify the symptoms of clinical depression, respectively. The two PIL items that were correlated significantly with both depression and locus of control and were the first two items selected in the multiple discriminant analysis appear to reflect the perception or experience of congruent involvement between the individual and his environment, both in terms of the penetrance of purpose to "personal existence"and that purpose "fitting meaningfully with life."

مستخلص: The article focuses on the relative effectiveness of a number of highly structured (objective) testing procedures that are accepted clinically as possessing some validity in the detection of Schizophrenic thinking. Despite a voluminous research literature, the identification of disturbed thinking leading to diagnosis of a schizophrenic process remains primarily a clinical decision made from the evaluation of some subjectively preferred symptom complex. Discriminant analysis indicated that the most accurate and economical combinations of techniques in the differential diagnosis of schizophrenic thinking for a homogeneous, mildly to moderately impaired hospital population, would be a combination of a measure of generalized deficit and a measure of positive symptoms.

مستخلص: Philadelphia is in competition with New York City and Baltimore in staking a claim for the water resources it will need in the next half century and beyond. A new governmental organization having a delegation of both state and federal powers for continuous planning and for unified management and control of the water resources of the entire Delaware River Basin has been proposed; and a federal-state compact for its establishment is being negotiated.

مستخلص: Viewing at least the beginnings of personality development beyond culturally stereotypic sex-roles as theoretically related to the openness to confront existential issues in general, the confrontation-avoidance of existential issues for 32 male and 32 female psychiatric inpatients was investigated. Subjects were grouped for analysis of variance by gender and by median splits of Bern Sex-role Inventory scores for masculinity and femininity. Although both male and female stereotypic sex-role groups evidenced the greatest avoidance of existential issues, the only statistically significant trend was found for the interaction of gender by masculinity which was attributable to the endorsement of masculine adjectives by females being associated with the most existential confrontation. Discussed in view of Bern's similar findings regarding flexibility and females' scores for masculine adjective endorsement, the results were viewed as supporting our model for female patients but not for males.

مستخلص: The discrepancy between the numbers of patients seeking help in our outpatient psychiatry department and those subsequently receiving treatment may be a function of the consistency of patients' definitions of their problems and their expectations regarding treatment. Assuming a consumer's approach to patienthood, we hypothesized that the greater the congruence between patients definitions of their problems and expectancy for treatment, the more likely that the patient and evaluating therapist would agree to initiate therapy. For 34 clients responses to a 20-item survey confirmed the hypothesis and suggested the need for explicit clarification with incoming patients of the definition of problems and expectancy for treatment.
