Brain Waves
Of Patients
,
A history written in brain
waves is telling the story
today 01' how successfully
the mentally ill are responding to electro-shock and
drug treatments.
Dr. Max. Fink, a Great
Neck psychiatrist who gave
up a profitable private practice to “prospect for Iacts”,»~
has developed a method of
evaluating the brain waves
of patients at Hillside Hospital, Glen Oaks,_ where he’s
been leading an eight--man
research team for four
years.
The brain wave "history”,
recorded on graph paper
and transmitted by an. electroencephalogram, enables
the hospital's staff to “treat
patients with more direction” Fink says.
It works this way:
The encephalogram picks
up brain waves of a new
patient and records a “base
line” on the graph.
As the patient is treatedand repeatedly tested the
variations are recorded on
the graph. Comparisions
show whether a patient is
. or isn’t . . . responding
to a drug or shock treatment.

Annual Report

1958
During 1958, the major emphasis of the
staff of the
Department of
Experimental Paychiatry shifted from evaluation of convulsive therapy to
systematic investigations of newer psychopharmacologic agents. These
investigations, derived from the successful evaluations of the

of action
of convulsive therapy (l95h-l958), reserpine (1955), and chlorpromazine and

(1956-1957), are based on the neurophysiologic-adaptive hypothesis

its attendant

.2Investigations into the relations of sociologic factors to the
selection of therapies at Hillside Hospital were extended by Drs.
Kahn and
Pollack. Not only were the factors of age, education, birthplace, and score
on the California F Scale significantly related to the choice of therapy but
these factors were also related to the results of therapy, the diagnosis and
the duration of hOSpitalization. These observations were presented in the
Sunday Conference of October 16, 1958.
and
On
October
7
the study was repeated;
similar studies of the population of other primarily psychotherapeutic
hospitals,
and the Hillside Hospital Out-Fatient Department were undertaken.
To augment
these studies, Dr. Nathaniel Siegel was appointed as Research
Associate in Sociology, with the support of a grant from the Mental Health
Board of Nassau County.
In an extension of the communication studies, both the syntactic
content analysis and dyadic diversification measures of formal aSpects of

Annual Report
-
1958
During 1958, the major emphasis of the
staff of the
Department of
Experimental Paychiatry shifted from evaluation of convulsive therapy to
systematic investigations of newer psychopharmacologic agents. These
investigations, derived from the successful evaluations of the
mode
of action
of convulsive therapy (l9Sh-l958), reserpine (1955), and chlorpromazine and
insulin

interrelationship of the neurophysiologic effects of
with the psychodynamic, perceptual, personality and
sociologic aspects of patients' behavior provide the framework for these
investigations. In addition, linguistic indices developed in the Department
during the past two years by Drs. Kahn and Jaffe are being studied as measures
both of behavioral change and of neurophysiologic effect.
During the year, the evaluation of convulsive therapies was continued
by comparing the
effects of indoklon, an inhalant convulsant, with electro-
convulsive therapy. This study was undertaken by two senior resident
psychiatrists,
B. Alan and H. Lefkowits, and Dre. Green and Fink.
'While
indoklon therapy was a successful treatment, technicallimitations made
it a
poor substitute for the established
electrical methods. The study was of
theoretic value in indicating that the significant element of convulsive
therapy was the induction of the grand mal convulsion, with
its attendant
neurophysiologic effects, independent of the type of agent employed.

acute drug interviews were but one aspect of the continuing

indicated that repeated induced convulsions resulted in an increased level

The
relation of psychotherapy with physiodynamic therapy was studied by Drs.
Esecover, Jaffe and Kahn; and in the latter part of the year, Drs. A. Kaplan

investigation into the interpersonal factors in

therapies.
