Introductory remarks are directed toward a brief review of the literature on the psychological problems of the survivors of the Nazi Holocaust, and the paucity of research on offspring of these survivors. A discussion of three adolescents who were in a residential treatment program in Jerusalem, Israel, is proffered. Biographical data, diagnostic categories, review of TAT responses, their ability or inability in forming relationships, and some examples of dreams are presented. A section is devoted to some general underlying assumptions--including an analysis of the concepts "survivor guilt," "repressed agression," and "isolation of affect".

The present paper focuses its attention on the personality disorders among relatively old dyslexic children whose symptom persists beyong logopedic reeducations of a long duration. The degree of disorientation of our subjects runs parallel to the degree of fragmentation of personality. In the Rorschach and TAT tests, the image of the Self is ill-differenciated from a poorly structured maternal image and pleads for a primary defect of the mother-child relation at a preobjectal level. The paternal function is obvious but ill-invested, therefore the relationship between severe and persisting dyslexia on the one hand, and psychosis on the other.

According to several follow-up studies in the literature, anorexia nervosa has to be considered as an affection with a grave prognosis. We have studied the outcome in a group of 32 female patients who could be considered as homogeneous in a number of aspects. The following five criteria, on which the delineation of the syndrome is based, were realized in all the patients: considerable weight loss; limited food intake; amenorrhea; juvenile age of onset; absence of primary organic or specific psychotic disorder. All of them presented a serious symptomatology and had undergone some previous treatment under the form of ambulatory psychotherapy and/or forced feeding. They all received, during their admission in the same hospital, the same form of combined intensive medical and psychotherapeutic treatment. All of them maintained regular psychotherapeutic contacts with the same psychiatrist. According to the outcome, the patients could be categorized into three groups: the cured, the improved, the unimproved. In order to circumscribe some prognostic elements, we have compared a number of clinical, family and personality variables in these groups. As favorable clinical factors can be mentioned: younger age at admission and shorter duration of the illness. Manifestations of impulsive behavior (automutilation, kleptomania, fugues, etc. ...) and sucide attempts are unfavorable. No definite family factors can be defined, although the absence of psychological interaction with the father seems to be unfavorable. A better prognostic outcome is offered by the following personality characteristics, determined by psychological testing: lower neuroticism and higher self-defensiveness on the ABV; a lower general profile and especially a lower score on the schizophrenia scale of the MMPI; less pronounced tendencies to infantile regression, passivity and sexual repression as these are expressed in the TAT.

A factorial design was used to test variations of the TAT based on racial characteristics. The subjects consisted of 135 black Southern males divided into three test groups of 45 subjects each. The M-TAT, T-TAT, or an experimental version of the TAT for blacks was group administered to each test group of 45 subjects. Each of the three test groups were further divided into three age groups of 15 subjects each designated as residents, college students or high school students. Subjects' responses to the racial characteristics and needs content across tests and age groups were examined. The data revealed: (a) subjects could distinguish the racial characteristics of black and white TAT material, (b) subjects indicated that black TAT material facilitated the writing of their stories, (c) subjects viewed the black TAT characters as more like "people in general," (d) both figure and background stimuli are important to subjects, and (e) content differences on need for achievement was found between age groups.

A psychological interview and the MHQ, Koch, Rorschach, TAT, Machover and family design psychological tests were conducted in pneumopathic patients. The results obtained with the MHQ were compared with those of the other tests with respect to the diagnosis of psychoneurosis. A perfect fit was observed.

Based on objectively scored TAT stories and interviews measuring five aspects of symbiotic relationships, a group of schizophrenics and their mothers showed more evidence of being enmeshed in such a relationship than did both non-schizophrenic mental patients and a group of normals and their mothers.

deltaHm, deltaT, Tm of melting of polydesoxyribonucletides polydAdT,, polyd(A--T)d(A--T), polyd(A--C)d(T--G) and DNA with different basic composition in a wide range of (10-2--4.0 M) ions (C2H5)4N+, Cs+ and Na+ were determined by the method microcalorimetry. It was established that the difference in melting heats of deltaHpolydAdT--deltaHpolyd(A--T)d(A--T) being approximately 0.6 kcal/mol b. p. represents that part of the energy which is caused by the heterogeneity of Stacking of interaction between (formula: see text) pairs. It is shown that the narrowing of deltaTm with increasing DNA concentration is connected with the decrease of the difference of polyGC and poly AT melting temperatures, what is with the parameter TGC--TAT which characterizes the melting of a free macromolecule.

Awareness of child abuse as a serious social problem has risen sharply in recent years, yet there has been only limited and inadequate research on the abused child's growth and development. This study investigated the aggressive characteristics of young abused children with those of nonabused-neglected and normal children, a comparison not previously made. Results indicated that abused children exhibited significantly more aggression than the nonabused-negected and normal children on TAT stories and in a free play environment. Both the abused and the nonabused-neglected groups demonstrated significantly more aggression in a school setting than did normals. The findings lend empirical verification to previous descriptions of abused children as overly aggressive and support the social learning formulation that children exposed to aggressive parental models will demonstrate aggressive characteristics outside the home. The data are also consistent with prior research that links physical punishment in the home with hyperaggressiveness in children. The need for early identification and treatment of abused children is discussed.

I. When a patient with open compound fracture arrives at the hospital he should be given 1500 u TAT, 25000 u Serum Antigangrenosum, one million Penicillin and one gram of Streptomycin, provided that these were not given before. II. Immediate operation of the cases with injury of less than six-eight hours duration is a must here. But still it must not be forgotten that those with shoc need to be left aside for primary treatment of the shoc before they are due for operation. Debridement of the wound should be done perfectly before starting to indulage one self with the operation. Any operation of this kind is not complete if the torn or nut nerves and tendons are primarily sutured after refreshing their ends. If necessary, plastic of the skin should be accomplished at the same time. III. We must be very considerate in dealing with bones. Bones that look dirty should be cleaned by spoon curretage rather than resecting them and facing shortage in bone. Shertage of small length of bone, can be substituted by bone grafting with either method of sliding or transplanting from one bone to another. IV. Up to the time that infection can be controlled, the primary sutture should be postponed and the only cautious debridement must be done. V. Post operative antibiotic treatment should extend from seven to ten days.

Social learning theory was used to examine the effects of a model's sexual imagery on the observer's sexual imagery. In the guise of a creative writing experiment, male and female college students were asked to listen to a tape recording of a same- or opposite-sex model relating a story in response to a sample TAT card. The story described a man and a woman in a physical sex encounter (high sex), a romantic date (medium sex), or a casual study date (low sex). The sample TAT picture and model's story were omitted in the control groups. All subjects wrote stories in response to two other TAT cards. These stories were scored for sexual imagery by a male and a female judge who were blind to experimental conditions and who used a standard sexual imagery scoring manual. The following prediction were based on social learning theory: There would be greater sexual imagery in the stories of subjects who heard the high sex model than in the stories of those who heard the medium or low sex model or no model. Past research implied the prediction that the modeling effects would be greater for males than for females in the high sex model condition and greater for females than for males in the medium sex model condition. The results were analyzed using two factorial analyses of variance. There was greater sexual imagery by subjects who heard the high sex model than by those who heard the low sex model or model. The sexual imagery by subjects who heard the medium sex model was intermediate between that by those who heard the high sex model and that by those who heard the low sex model. The modeling effect was greater in males. The results also confirmed the prediction that sexual imagery would be greater for males in the high sex model condition but did not confirm the prediction that sexual imagery would be greater for females in the medium sex model condition.
