“…The premorbid personality is not schizoid and the psychosis does not exhibit signs of autism. Thus, this group differs distinctly from the schizophrenias (Achte' (1967), Holmboe & Astrup (1957), Retterstll (1966Retterstll ( , 1970, McCabe et al (1971,1972), Labhardt (1963), Langfeldt (1956)). The stability of the diagnosis of psychogenic psychosis is in this study defined by the observation of whether recurrence of psychosis was evidenced by a new episode of psychogenic/reactive psychosis.…”

The study comprises a retrospective evaluation of case records of 220 patients admitted for the first time with psychogenic psychosis with special reference to clinical course and prognosis within a period of 13--14 years. The reliability of the diagnosis at the time of the first admission is about 60% when the evaluation is based on positive criteria for psychosis. If the psychogenic psychoses are divided into subgroups, the reliability of the diagnosis of psychogenic affective psychoses is about 30%, whereas it is over 90% for psychogenic confusional psychoses and psychogenic paranoid psychoses. If subsequent cases of other functional psychoses (manic-depressive psychosis and schizophrenia) are subtracted, the diagnostic reliability is 50% (111 of 220 cases), which represents the number of retrospectively verified psychogenic psychoses. The frequency of recurrence of psychogenic psychosis was 18% (40), corresponding to 36% of psychogenic psychoses verified by retrospective evaluation (111 of 220 cases). The recurrences were mainly homologous, as heterologous recurrences developed only among the psychogenic affective psychoses (slightly less than half of the recurrences in question). Schizophrenia developed in only 10% (23), and subsequent episodes of manic-depressive psychosis occurred in 8% (18). The stability of psychogenic psychosis on recurrence of functional psychosis was 49% expressed in relation to all subsequent cases of functional psychosis. The over-all prognosis for the psychogenic/reactive psychosis is thus good as regards subsequent mental disease. Chronic functional psychosis (schizophrenia) developed in only 10% (and in less than 20% if the prognosis is assessed on the basis of the reliability of the diagnosis at the time of the first admission (about 60%)). However, in the group of psychogenic/reactive psychoses as a whole an overmortality of 100% was observed in the course of the 14 years, highest in the younger age groups.

The Development of the Concept of Reactive Psychoses

Although reactive (psychogenic) psychoses have no doubt occurred throughout the history of mankind, it is only during the last century that the corresponding concept has been defined, beginning with Summer’s definition of the term ‘psychogenic’ and Jaspers’ distinctions between ‘reaction’ and ‘process’, and between ‘neurosis’ and ‘psychosis’, respectively. A change in Kurt Schneider’s nosological concepts induced the majority of German-speaking psychiatrists to avoid the concept of psychogenic psychoses. The very varying use of the concept of reactive psychoses in different countries is described and discussed, with special regard to implications for psychiatric epidemiology.

“…As several authors have stressed, most cases of bouffee delirante have no organic or infectious cause. Transient psychotic or psychosis-like reactions evoked by the acute fear of being affected by magic are in no way a specific phenomenon of African cultures; they have been described with some frequency in other parts of the world, including Indonesia (Pfeiffer 1994) and Tanga (Jilek 1988) as weil as in southern European migrant workers (Labhardt 1963;Risso and Böker 1964). In their manifestations and course, bouffee delirante-type conditions are reminiscent of two nineteenth-century disease entities: the "transient amentia" of the Vienna School (Meynert 1889) and folie hysterique, the "hysterical psychosis" first described by Morel (1860) in Paris, a diagnostic concept revived by American authors in the 1960s with special reference to transient psychotic reactions in nonWestern cultures (Hallender and Hirsch 1964;Langness 1967;Hirsch and Hollender 1969).…”
