    Notes: Summary This is a report on the effects of a psychiatrists' strike in Israel on emergency psychiatric referrals and admissions from two catchment areas. One had comprehensive psychiatric services, the other did not. Three periods were compared - before, during and after the strike. During the strike period, overall referrals to the emergency room decreased by 3.9%. A significant 15.8% decrease in referrals was registered in the comprehensive psychiatric service area, and an 11.4% increase in referrals in the other catchment area. Although no increase was seen in total emergency admissions during the strike, involuntary admissions increased by 21.6%, within the catchment area which did not have a comprehensive service, whereas within the area with the comprehensive service there was a significant decrease of 33% in involuntary admissions. The impact of these services on emergency referrals and admissions, especially during the strike, is discussed.

    Time perspective in schizophrenics (1969)

    Notes: Summary The goal of this paper was to show that when there exists a disturbance or damage in the ego, as in schizophrenics, there exists also a disorder in the total time perspective (past and future). The experiment described herein proved the hypothesis. Two groups of 20 subjects were examined. One was formed of long-stay schizophrenics (median four years). The control group was formed of long-stay tuberculous patients (median of three years). The subjects were investigated by a self-questionnaire about seven past and future events, and then by organizing them sequentially and chronologically. It was shown that the total time perspective (past and future) is significantly shortened in schizophrenics as compared to that of the control group. It was also shown that there is a lack of synchronization between chronological and sequential ordering of events (incoherence) in six schizophrenics with regard to past events (not significant), and in 16 schizophrenics concerning future events (significant). It was observed that there appeared clusters of 3 events distributed around the date of outbreak of the disease of the subject. It was pointed out that “now” was given as answers concerning future events in 14 schizophrenics and in three subjects of the control group. Tentative explanations were given to explain these findings. Suggestions were made for future investigations.
