Psychiatry in the 1880s: The President's Assassin and the Queen's Would-be Assassin

One hundred years ago, in July 1881, President Garfield met his death by assassination. The trial of the murderer, Guiteau, and the controversy about his mental state, were extensively commented on in the Journal of Mental Science between July 1882 and January 1883. First there is a lengthy editorial (an ‘Occasional Note of the Quarter’) in which the Editor gives his own opinion as to Guiteau's sanity and responsibility, and in later pages there is a full report of the Judge's summing up in the case. The October issue contains a detailed account of the post-mortem carried out on the body of the murderer after his execution; and lastly, in January 1883 the Editor replies to letters and criticisms he has received. The following is a condensed version of the first editorial.

Psychiatry in the 1870s: Centenary of the Mental After-Care Association

The Mental After-Care Association has just celebrated its centenary. An account of the meeting at which it was founded apeared in the Journal of Mental Science for October 1879.

An Honorary Fellow Extraordinary

Dr Alexander Walk, at that time President-Elect, Librarian, Co-Editor, Secretary of the Parliamentary Committee and our representative on the General Nursing Council, was the first Officer I spoke to when I joined the staff of the RMPA in January 1960. It was typical that he should telephone to welcome the newcomer, and, as I have learned over the years, also typical that he should then have been serving the Association in so many and varied ways, and that he should now still be engaged in the service of the College. To this service he has given his skill, wisdom, generosity and wit for half a century, and last month he and the College celebrated the Jubilee of his first official appointment—as Assistant Editor of the Journal of Mental Science—in May 1928—a record never equalled by any other member.

THE OBSERVATION WARD AND THE PSYCHIATRIC EMERGENCY.

In 1937 an excellent investigation, by Pentreath and Dax, of the work of a London observation ward appeared in the Journal of Mental Science. In the course of their conclusions, they pointed out that: “observation wards are still in their infancy so far as their developmental possibilities are concerned—in fact, we are still in the process of deciding what their purpose should be.” In the ferment of ideas that culminated in the Mental Health Act of 1959, and the fresh insights into administrative psychiatry which have followed, the future function of such units seems to have received little attention. Freeman and Farndale's book Trends in the Mental Health Services (1963) does not introduce the concept of the psychiatric emergency, nor does it consider any special provision for these patients.

The Origins of Love and Hate.

The death of Ian Suttie (1889-1935) must have been one of the great tragedies of medicine. I had never heard of him; my first knowledge was to pick this paperback at a bookstall. It comprises a brilliant rebuttal of the gospel of Freud, set out in 14 enthusiastic chapters, each of which is summarized in the table of contents. There is an eight-page introduction by the author; and at the end, conclusions. On the 14-page index Suttie expended infinite care, thus facilitating reference to topics rather than to terms. Sutties' criticism of orthodox psychiatry began in 1922 with a Critique of the Theory of the Head Instinct, in the Journal of Mental Science . He wrote 13 other papers, but this was his first book. It is written in beautiful English, for he avoided technical jargon. The book was not intended only for psychologists but for enlightened people of all kinds—medical

DEPRESSIVE BREAKDOWN IN WOMEN OF THE WEST HIGHLANDS

In recent years study of the affective disorders has tended to receive less attention than schizophrenia. The work of Kallinan and Schulz on the genetics of the illness is of enormous importance, as is Merrell’s work on the inheritance of the disease; but again two of these writers have also made important contributions to the etiology of schizophrenia. Review of the current literature tended to confirm this contention. In the Journal of Mental Science we found, for example, that in the years 1957 to 1959 there were 79 articles on schizophrenia and only 21 on affective disorders. Review of the American journals of psychiatry tended to confirm this finding. We also found that comparatively littlework had been done on the incidence of depression in distinctive groups, despite an impressive survey by Stenstedt in Sweden who used a geographical basis for his work and whose results are contrasted with our own below. In the following survey we set out originally to examine the generally held concept that there is a higher incidence of affective disorder in the population of the West of Scotland than in other comparable areas in the British Isles. We also attempted to analyse the factors responsible. The planning of the survey immediately presented difficulties. In the first place we had to decide whether to use only patients admitted to the hospital as statistical material or whether to include outpatients. We decided to use only inpatients. Secondly we had to decide whether to use a nominological, an inheritance, or a geographical basis. Geography seemed to offer more accuracy on the grounds that a nominological basis would be hopelessly confusing (many Irish names begin with “Mac” and many “Macs” disappeared after the ‘45 !), and that hereditary factors would be too difficult to trace. We felt also that a geographical selection

Existentialism and Psychiatry

Frank Fish's paper, published in The Journal of Mental Science in September 1961, pp. 978–985, deals with issues which are fundamental for psychiatry. He examines the different approaches used in existential psychology and especially the philosophical basis of existential psychiatry. In his conclusion, he denies its value. His paper demands a reply, since it contains misrepresentations.

Some recent criticisms of the dimensional analysis of personality.

In recent issues of The Journal of Mental Science there have appeared two critical papers (5, 7) dealing with some aspects of the dimensional analysis of personality which the writer has put forward. As replies to these papers separately would seem to require a good deal of repetition, it seemed better to frame a joint reply. This has been kept rather short on purpose, primarily because the writer does not believe that arguments are very helpful to the advancement of science, unless they are accompanied by new data of an experimental kind. In the main, therefore, this reply has restricted itself to simply pointing out that many of the points raised are factually incorrect, or, although they might be correct in themselves, are not relevant to the theory they are criticizing.

The centenary of the Journal of Mental Science.

The first number of the Journal of Mental Science appeared on 15 November, 1853. It will be noted that we are still in our 99th Volume—the discrepancy is accounted for by changes in the mode of issue during the first few years.

Acute porphyria presenting with mental symptoms.

Acute porphyria is a rare disease in this country. Although a typical case was described in the Journal of Mental Science over 50 years ago (Campbell, 1898), Petrie (1948) could find only three cases reported in Britain between 1940 and 1948; since then at least six more cases have been reported. The disease is relatively common in Scandinavia and, to a less extent, in North America—a distribution for which Discombe (1948) has suggested an explanation in terms of relative emigration rates.
