License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Long-acting injectable antipsychotics (LAIs) should offer better efficacy and tolerability, compared to oral antipsychotics due to improved adherence and more stable pharmacokinetics. However, data on LAIs has been mixed, with some studies finding that they are more effective and tolerable than oral antipsychotics, and others finding the contrary. One possibility for the disparate results may be that some studies administered different antipsychotics in the oral and injectable form. The present systematic review examined the efficacy and tolerability of LAIs versus their oral equivalents in randomized and naturalistic studies. In addition, it examined the impact of LAIs on special populations such as patients with first-episode psychosis, substance use disorders, and a history of violence or on involuntary outpatient commitment. Randomized studies suggest that not all LAIs are the same; for example, long-acting risperidone may be associated with equal or less side effects than oral risperidone, whereas fluphenazine decanoate and enanthate may be associated with equal or more side effects than oral fluphenazine. They also suggest that LAIs reduce risk of relapse versus oral antipsychotics in schizophrenia outpatients when combined with quality psychosocial interventions. For their part, naturalistic studies point to a larger magnitude of benefit for LAIs, relative to their oral equivalents particularly among first-episode patients. 1.

In the maturation of any idea, and the development of any thought, numerous influences interact with one another. Often, those influences which are most cogent, become com-pletely integrated with the individual's personality structure so as to be virtually unrecognizable. Thus it may happen, that lesser influences are recognized and acknowledged while more significant influences go unacknowl-edged. The recognition of this fact, however, doesn't free me of the obligation to express gratitude to those without whose help this project would have gone undone. The faculty committee that served as my advisors for this study guided me through the murky waters of unfamiliar endeavor. Each of th-nn, in his own area of special com-petence, and by way of personal encouragement, contributed

On the basis ofihe intensive psychotherapy of about 40 depressedpatients over the course oftwo decades, the authors describe three premorbid types of depressive personality: 1) one based on a ‘ ‘dominant other ” relationship, 2) one basedon a “dominant goal, ‘ ‘ and3) one that is aform ofcharacter structure orpersonality disorder. They also describe typical childhood experiences ofdepressive adults and discuss their theory ofthe nature ofdepression as a human experience. They characterize depression as a limitation ofalternate ways ofthinking and as self-inhibitionfrom new experiences. A large majority of current publications on depres-sion have emphasized only the biological ap-proach to this syndrome. Although appreciative of the

Data provided by case managers in community support programs are used to analyze the problems of families providing shelter to men-tally ill relatives. Factors affecting complaints in 345 family house-holds are contrasted with factors leading to complaints in a subsam-ple of 622 other residential alterna-tives. Behavioral problems are the best predictors of complaints from all households regardless of type, but some causal factors identified are unique to family residences, no-

The present study aimed to investigate the influences of socio-cultural context on content of delusions within schizophrenic patients among three different geographical areas in Saudi Arabia and to estimate the prevalence of schizotypal personality within the non-clinical Saudi population. Methods: 148 patients meeting DSM-IV criteria of schizophrenia were drawn from in-patient sections of mental health hospitals in three areas of study (Riyadh, Jeddah, and the Eastern Province), and 364 participants were recruited for comparison groups from Saudi universities and general medical practices in the same areas. The study utilized the following instruments: Scale for the
