  • Anorexia Nervosa and the Secretion of Prolactin

  • Paul Williams
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    29 January 2018, pp. 69-72

  • Theoretically, one would expect to find increases in prolactin secretion in patients with anorexia nervosa: the evidence for this is reviewed. However, relevant work to date seems to indicate that this is not so. These paradoxical findings are discussed, and areas of further research are outlined.

  • A Study of Consanguinity Between the Parents of Transsexuals

  • Jan Wålinder, Inga Thuwe
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    29 January 2018, pp. 73-74

  • During recent years there have been published a number of reports of more than one case of transsexualism or other sexual pathology occurring within the same family. As long as the aetiology of transsexualism remains unknown the authors consider that a possible effect of recessive genes cannot be definitely excluded. To ascertain whether transsexual patients are born of cousin marriages to a greater extent than expected the authors have fully investigated family relationships for 61 known cases of transsexualism. No case of cousin marriage was disclosed.

  • The Phenomenology of Severe Obsessive-Compulsive Neurosis

  • J. H. Dowson
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    29 January 2018, pp. 75-78

  • The case histories are examined of 41 patients who were admitted to hospital for the first time with a diagnosis of obsessive-compulsive neurosis. Aspects of the phenomenology are reported which presented between the first appearance of obsessive-compulsive symptoms and discharge from the first admission.

    The mean age for admission was 31·6 years (SD 14·3) and 68 per cent of the sample were women. The women showed significantly higher incidences of contamination phobia and of compulsive cleaning behaviour than did the men. Cleaning behaviour and avoidance of feared stimuli were the most frequently encountered manifestations of compulsive behaviour.
