Notes and News PSYCHIATRIC NURSING SINCE everyone, sane or otherwise, responds to his surround- ings and to the people therein, it follows that reactions between a patient and his attendant alter the behaviour of both for good or ill. Consequently, to understand the patient’s conduct, the attendant must try to understand the nature of their interaction and, ipso facto, something of himself. This conclusion can be taken rather further towards the need for psychoanalytical self-knowledge than most psychiatrists or psychiatric nurses in this country would think necessary. The recent G.A.P. publica- tion,! presenting an American view on therapeutic care, may, therefore, cause some argument in this country, but it merits study as a remarkably clear elementary account of one person- ality theory (Freudian) which often makes sense of baffling situations. The first third of the booklet is a rewritten version of the successful G.A.P. publication, Therapeutic Use of the Self (1955), with the addition of 22 case-studies, including the demanding and manipulative, the regressed, the suicidal, the destructive, and the dangerous patients, the patient who is herself a nurse, and the nurse who uses violence. The inter- pretations of some events and personalities and the methods advocated beg questions; but no-one can deny that the booklet contains much wisdom. OLD AND NEW THE Western General Infirmary first began to serve the sick poor of St. Marylebone in 1830, and Dr. Norah Schuster’s pleasant parish history,2 to which Sir Zachary Cope contri- butes a neighbourly foreword, reminds us that in medical practice details are more likely to change than principles. Today cholera and rabies are not rife, leeches are not applied, sermons are not preached in aid of hospital funds, committee meetings do not end in disorder at the " Yorkshire Stingo ". But the mixture of hospital and domiciliary care offered then is reminiscent of contemporary discussions on integration, and the dispensary provided at least one home nurse as part of its outpatient care, and helped to distribute cooked food to convalescents, though the phrase " meals on wheels " had not yet been invented. Dr. Schuster found that the committee minutes of the 20th century lacked the " impulsive candour " of those of the 19th century and her record ends with a polite amalgamation with the St. Marylebone General Dispensary in 1936, and an administrative metamorphosis in 1948 to a child-guidance clinic.
