Epidemiologic studies have reported an association between prenatal exposure to influenza and adult schizophrenia. The authors studied this association in individual patients with schizophrenia and also investigated the relationship of obstetric complications, another postulated risk factor, to adult schizophrenia. Using a structured interview instrument, the authors assessed infections during pregnancy, obstetric complications, gestational age, and birth weight by interviewing the mothers of 121 patients with DSM-III-R schizophrenia. Significantly more infections were reported in the second trimester of the patients' gestations than in the combined first and third trimesters. Influenza accounted for 70% of second-trimester infections. Patients with schizophrenia whose mothers reported having influenza during the second trimester were almost five times more likely to experience at least one definite obstetric complication than were patients who were not exposed to influenza during the second trimester; the exposed patients weighed a mean of 210 g less at birth than the unexposed patients. Maternal influenza during the second trimester may impair fetal growth and predispose to obstetric complications and lower birth weight in a proportion of individuals destined to develop schizophrenia.

Considerable effort has been directed toward identifying and conceptualizing information-processing deficits in schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. The impressive gains in this field have made meaningful contributions to our understanding of the etiology and course of these disorders. This article considers whether the time is ripe to move beyond identification of these deficits to remediation of them. This move is far from a simple matter; it requires careful attention to theoretical frameworks and to the criteria for selecting certain cognitive deficits, among many, for remediation. A sparse and somewhat dated literature suggests that certain types of cognitive remediation, at least when defined in a narrow sense, are feasible with schizophrenic patients. This literature can reasonably justify continuing investigations on a modest scale. Specific questions for further studies include the following. 1) Which cognitive models provide a framework to guide cognitive interventions? 2) Which specific functions or levels of information processing should be targeted by cognitive interventions? 3) Are cognitive interventions effective? 4) Does the remediation of basic cognitive deficits generalize? A major strength of this area of investigation is the testability of the questions. Several research designs are tentatively suggested.

Although attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a common disorder of childhood, its status as a disorder in adults is not clear. The authors reasoned that if the adult diagnosis of the disorder is a valid clinical entity, it should be similar to the childhood disorder with regard to patterns of psychiatric and cognitive findings. Eighty-four adults with a clinical diagnosis of childhood-onset attention deficit hyperactivity disorder confirmed by structured interview who were referred for treatment were studied. Findings were compared with those from a preexisting study group of referred children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, nonreferred adult relatives of those children who also had attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and adults without the disorder who were relatives of normal children. Subjects were evaluated with a comprehensive battery of psychiatric, cognitive, and psychosocial assessments. The referred and nonreferred adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder were similar to one another but more disturbed and impaired than the comparison subjects without the disorder. The pattern of psychopathology, cognition, and functioning among the adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder approximated the findings for children with the disorder. These results show that referred and nonreferred adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder have a pattern of demographic, psychosocial, psychiatric, and cognitive features that mirrors well-documented findings among children with the disorder. These findings further support the validity of the diagnosis for adults.

Resident's Guide to Treatment of People With Chronic Mental Illness: Report 136

The authors provide an overview of privatization, a major trend in mental health policy, focusing in particular on the reasons for and consequences of substantial growth and change in ownership of private psychiatric hospitals; the proportion of all nonfederal psychiatric inpatient beds in private facilities has increased from less than 10% in 1970 to 35% today. It is estimated that between 1970 and 1986, the proportion of total nonfederal psychiatric inpatient beds in the United States that were under corporate for-profit auspices increased from about 1% to 15%. The authors distinguish and examine several aspects of privatization and assess the implications of these changes for psychiatry and for public policy and research.

The authors' goal was to determine the levels of trauma and psychiatric symptoms in a randomly selected group of Cambodian refugees and to determine the relationship between the amount of trauma experienced and subsequent psychiatric symptoms. Data on traumatic experiences and symptoms of posttraumatic stress, dissociation, depression, and anxiety were collected on 50 randomly selected Cambodian refugees who had resettled in the United States. Subjects experienced multiple and severe traumas and showed high levels of all symptoms measured. Forty-three (86%) of the subjects met DSM-III-R criteria for posttraumatic stress disorder, 48 (96%) had high dissociation scores, and 40 (80%) could be classified as suffering from clinical depression. Correlations between trauma scores and symptom scores and among symptom scores were moderate to large. These results indicate that a high proportion of Cambodian refugees who are not psychiatric patients suffer from severe psychiatric symptoms and that there is a relationship between the amount of trauma they experienced and the severity of these symptoms.

The authors present three cases of patients with neuroleptic-induced akathisia who were successfully treated with nadolol, a peripherally acting beta blocker. They discuss the potential implications of this finding.
