  • Thought Disorder and the Predictability of Schizophrenic Speech

  • D. R. Rutter, Joan Draffan, Jacqueline Davies
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    29 January 2018, pp. 67-68

  • Previous research suggests that the predictability of speech in schizophrenic patients may be related to certain measures of thought disorder. Two uninterrupted passages of 200 words were taken from 25 randomly selected schizophrenic patients recently admitted to hospital and were ‘Clozed’ by students under both fourth- and fifth-word deletion. Thought disorder was measured by the Bannister-Fransella test, and the Cloze scores were found to be related neither to Intensity nor to Consistency.

  • 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.

Research Article

  • 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.
