This study combining direct test of memory with indirect test of memory which has been developed in latest years, synthetically studied the memory of the 24 alcoholic depedenec cases aged 42 to 64 years. The results indicated: (1) The implicit memory of those cases has no deficiency, vercus, the explicit memory appears impaired. It shows the disasociation between implicit and explicit memory. (2) Implicit item memory and implicit associative memory showed different characteristic respectively. The former can produce priming effect in the condition of mechanical reading. The latter shows feature of associative learning.

To explore the relationship between self-concept and mental health. Methods:398 middle school students were tested by SCL-90 and Song-Hattie Self-concept Scale. Results: The correlation coefficients between the total score of SCL-90 and academic self-concept, non-academic self concept and total self concept were -0.22, -0.21 and -0.23 respectively. Conclusion: Self concept was significantly correlated with mental health in middle school students.

To observe the changes of intelligence in cerebral infarction patients, and to explore the relationship between intelligence and brain CT feature. Methods:The intelligence was measured by WAIS-RC in 80 cerebral infarction patients.Results:The VIQ and FIQ reduced significantly in the patients with hypertension. FIQ in patients with diabetes mellitus and PIQ in patients with cerebral vesscular disease histories reduced significantly. The PIQ reduced significantly in the patients of right focus on CT. VIQ, PIQ and FIQ reduced significantly in patients of cerebral cortices involved. But the number of focus, thalamus involved and cerebral atrophy were of no significance.Conclusion:The intelligence of the cerebral infarction patients companying hypertension, diabetes mellitus and several cerebral vesscular disease histories was impaired significantly. Cerebral cortices involed was the most important factor among the features on CT relating to intelligence quotient.

Two major family factors: parenting style and parental behavior cast important influence on mentality and behaviour of children. Parenting style has considerable influence on children's cognitive development, emotional support and stress coping methods. It also affects children's understanding of filial belief and behavior. Apart from family violence, divorce and other direct factors, parenting style and parental behavior produce significant effects on children's mind and behavior.

Objective: To measure IQ and MQ of patients with cerebral vascular diseases (CVD) involving different cerebral lobes and basal ganglia areas. To provide useful data for clinical assessment of brain functions with respect to degree and range of IQ and MQ impairments. Methods: 60 cases of localized CVD were confirmed by clinical diagnosis and CT scan. The patients were evaluated by the WAIS-RC and WMS-RC after convalescence. Results: There were reliable differences between patients and normal controls ( P

Objective: To examine relationships of general perceived self-efficacy with trait anxiety, state anxiety, and test anxiety. Methods: A sample of 401 college students were administrated the General Self-Efficacy Scale and two other inventories assessing trait anxiety, state anxiety and testing anxiety. Results: The scores of Chinese male and female college students in the General Self-Efficacy Scale were closely comparable to scores of other Asian samples. General self-efficacy negatively correlated with trait anxiety (r=-0.301), state anxiety (r=-0.422) and test anxiety (r=-0.253). Conclusion: As predicted, there was a negative relationship between general self-efficacy and various measures of anxiety.

Objective: To evaluate the applicability, reliability and validity of the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test (CFT)in Chinese normal elderly. Methods: A total of 111 normal elderly were assessed by the CFT (Form A) and the mini-mental state examination (MMSE). Among these subjects, 40 were also administered the CFT (Form B), the Block Design and the Visual Reproduction tests. Results: No significant difference was found between CFT (Form A) and CFT (Form B) with respect to copy, delayed recall and recognition. Recall performance was related to copying strategy and level of organization. Details of accuracy and their respective placement were evaluated in both copy and delayed recall trials for CFT (Form A). Conclusion: As a measure for visual-spatial constructional ability and visual memory, the CFT (Form A & B) was assessed to be psychometrically reliable and valid to be used in normal Chinese elderly.

Objective:To investigate impaired cognitive functions in post-JE patients. Methods:32 post-JE patients and 44 non-disabled subjects were compared on various intelligence and memory measures. Results:25% and 34% post-JE patients showed significant cognitive impairments in intellectual and memory functions. Significant differences were found between groups on measures of FIQ,VIQ, PIQ and MQ. Conclusion: Impairment in cognitive functions was found to be a frequent sequelae of acute JE, which has often been overlooked.

Objective:To explore the personality types and the features of clinical subtypes of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Methods:82 cases of OCD were tested using Chinese MMPI that was revised by MMPI normative cooperative group. We used MMPI-B auto-analysis system made by Ji Shumao et al to calculate the basis scores and T scores of 73 scales.Results:Basis scores (+K)of scales F,Hs,D,Hy,Pd,Pa,Pt,Sc,(males and females)and Si,Mf(males) and K (females) on OCD group were higher that the scores of the normal group. The two-point code of T scores in OCD was 72/27.The factor analysis in 13 scales showed that there were four personality factors in OCD: neuroticism factor (Hs,Hy,D,Pt), psychotic factor(F,Pd,Sc),suspicious factor( F,Ma,Pa), Social introversion factor (L,Si,Mf).82 cases of OCD were divided into three groups by K-means of quick cluster analysis,T scores of 73 MMPI scales were different among three groups ( P

Psychotherapies were introduced into China and developed quite well in the past two decades.The author suggests that the development of psychotherapies for the Chinese should be integrated the traditional cultural issues with the different schools of Western psychotherapies. This article reviews the traditional cultures,which deeply influenced the people's mind and behavioral patterns; and the common kinds of modern psychotherapies practiced in China now.Particularly, the author suggests that the therapeutic skills to learn and experiments to collect, as well as cultural issues to concern will be focused on more by the Chinese therapists.
