Review

various programs in the Department of Experimental
Psychiatry have been devoted to an understanding or the node of
action or psychiatric therapies through studies or brain function.
The prin(ipnl techniques have been adapted tron descriptive
psychiatry, nenropeychelcgy, electroencephalography, linguistics,
pharaacology, and sociology.
In initial studies of convulsive therapy, changes in brain
function were found to relate both to evaluations of improvement
and to pro-treatment peyohologic variables. is our understanding
or convulsive therapy developed, a general neurophysiologicadaptive view of soaatic therapies emerged ( l ). In this view
psychiatric treataents are therapeutically effective to the degree
that brain tnnction in measurably altered. While change in brain
function is necessary for behavioral change, the type of adaptation,
however, varies depending upon pro-treatment psycholozic and
sociologic characteristics of the subject (2). Thus, the node of
action is not seen as either 'orgenic’ or "psychologic' but rather
as the interaction of diffuse neurophysiologic changes and
adaptive mechanisms. further, while behavioral change is related
to changes in brain function, and the adaptive pattern to
pre-treatnent psychologic characteristics, evaluations of
'inprovenent', being special types of evaluation of change, are
derivative Judgments based on start and {anily expectations and
tolerances (2).
The

series "or
studies of convulsive therapy. concurrent etudiee of ineulin ccna
indicated that behavioral change here, too, was related to the
onset and degree e: prolonged cone or repeated seizures - these
being the principal aanitestatiens or prolonged neurophysiologic
change in thie therapy (3,h).
The node of action or the new psychotropic agente was also
expressed within this hypothesis (5,6). It use suggested that
these agents weuld be effective to the degree that they induced
persistent changes in brain function and that the type or behavioral
response would be related to the type of brain change, and to
preeorhid peycholegic (personality) patterns. the present prograne
in the Department are designed to study these relationships in

tested within the sane acute experimental franework of the
EEG setting.
It was observed that phencthiacinee (chlcrpronazine,
proaasine, triftuopronanine) induced EEG synchronisation and a
shifting of the spectra: to the slow frequencies; neprebanate and
barbiturates, an increased synchronization and a shift of spectrum
to fast frequencies; reserpine, an increased slowing with synchrono
isatien at low dosages, and desynchronizaticn at higher levels (5,6).
Inipraaine induced desynchronisatien vith a shift of frequencies
to the slow bands (21).
Other experinental oerponnds tested included BL-H188 and
phenyltolexaaine (Bristol), Deaner and its various cengeners
(hiker), wr~21h9 (Wyeth) and frenqnel (Merrill). For each, no
consistent electrographic pattern was recorded.
It was suggested that psychepharnacclogic egents provide a
means for eliciting a variety of neorophysiclogic patterns in
contrast to the single pattern of induced convulsions. Furthernore, the type of neurophysiologic alteration, as reflected in
EEG synchrony and frequency
oatterns, was related to specified
types of behavioral adaptation. Increasing EEG synchrony and a shift
to slow frequencies were associated with tranquillisaticn, sedation
and decreasing agitation; while desynchronieation and a shift to
fast frequencies was associated with excitement, illusions, and
delusional ideaticn (6,20). These observations are consistent with
hypotheses of Wikler. The advantages of EEG techniques for the
assay of new psychotropic agents have already been reported (6).

progress.
Behavioral Change: In a survey of the behavioral adaptations
of patients reeeiving phenothiasines or iaipraaine during 1958-59,
various clusters of behaviors were developed. The typologies were based
on the treataent response and on pre—treatnent psychiatric profiles.
In the present study, the typologies are being tested, and various
measures of behavioral change are being studied. These include
therapist referral questionnaires and six week evaluations, therapist
and patient Clyde Hood Scales; Lorr Scale evaluations in interview
by two research psychiatrists, and Lorr Ward Scales; and patient
sel£~ratings including the Johns Hopkins syaptoa check list and the
Chicago Attitude Scales.
lenrogszehelegx: Psycholozie tasks have been viewed both as
ehanze variables and predictive variables. In convulsive therapy,
changes in aenory tasks (22), tactile perception (23,2h), WeehslerBollevne (13), CF! (13), figureagronnd tasks (25): and taehistoseopie
recognition of figures (26) were related to the degree or induced

In the course or these psychiatric programs, considerable
interest wee engendered in the tenily organization to which patients

returning. Also, the general problem of the relation of social
factors to choice and results of psychiatric treatment, and the
specific problem of the relation of these factors to the referral
patterns led to a eeriee of pepnletion studies. In one study (33),
education, ego, place or birth and score on the California I scale
were significantly related to the type or therapy received and the
utilization of addonotive hospital services; Thus, patients who
were older, poorly educated, had higher P scores and were foreignhorn, particularly Eastern Europe, were most likely to he referred
for electroshock. These relationships were present independent of
diagnoses. Within the group o: electroshock patients, the tire for
referral for BC! was also related to these factors;
In a second study (18), duration of hospitalization, discharge
evaluation and diagnoses were related to the eaae social factors.
For example, patients hospitalized for the shortest period were
oldeet, had the least education, were most likely to have been foreign»
born and had the higher 1 Scale scores. Younger, native-born, more
educated, lower 1 Scale score patients were hospitalized the longest.
these relationships held true within treatment type and within
diagnostic close. On discharge, older patients had the nest favorable
ratings. In 30?, patients rated as recovered or much improved had the
highest 1 scores, least education and were most likely to he foresighorn. In another study or patient refusal of nor, similar relationships knee observed (3h).

From

VI: 1/61

�Experimental Psychiatric Programs at Hillside Hospital
A

Review

various programs in the Department of EXperimental
Psychiatry have been devoted to an understanding of the mode of
action of psychiatric therapies through studies of brain function.
The

principal techniques have been adapted from descriptive
psychiatry, neuropsychology, electroencephalography, linguistics,
The

pharmacology, and sociology.
In initial studies of convulsive therapy, changes in brain
function were found to relate both to evaluations of improvement
and to pre~treatment

psychological variables. As our understanding
of convulsive therapy developed, a general neurophysiologicadaptive view of somatic therapies emerged (1). In this view
psychiatric treatments are seen as therapeutically effective to
the degree that brain function is measurably altered. While change
in brain function is necessary for behavioral change, the type of
adaptation, however, varies depending upon pre—treatment psychological and sociological characteristics of the subject (2). Thus,
the mode of action is not seen as either "organic" or "psychologic"
but rather as the interaction of diffuse neurophysiologic changes
and adaptive mechanisms. Further, while behavioral change is
related to changes in brain function, and the adaptive pattern to
pre-treatment psychologic characteristics, evaluations of
'improvement’, being special types of evaluation of change, are
derivative Judgements based on staff and family expectations and
tolerances (2).

�-2This hypothesis was developed and sustained in a series of
studies of convulsive therapy. Concurrent studies of insulin coma

indicated that behavioral change here, too, was related to the
onset and degree of prolonged coma or repeated seizures - these
being the principal manifestations of prolonged neurophysiological
change in this therapy (3,h).
The mode of action of the new
psychotropic agents was also
eXpressed within this hypothesis (5,6). It was suggested that
these agents would be effective to the degree that they induced

premorbid psychologic (personality) patterns. The present
programs
in the Department are designed to study these
relationships in

detail.

CONVULSIVE THERAPY PROCESS

0f various measures of brain function, the amount of slow

activity in the electroencephalogram (7,8) and confabulatory
and denial language patterns after amobarbital (9,10)
were the
most sensitive indices (11) in convulsive
therapy subjects. In
wave

one experiment, improvement

ratings

correlated with the
appearance of high degrees of change in these indices (7,10).
These observations were tested in a double-blind
study in
which patients referred for electroshock were
randomly assigned
to courses of either convulsive or subconvulsive therapy under
pentothal premedication. High degrees of neurophysiological change
were observed only in the convulsive group; improvement rates were
were

�-3-

significantly higher in this group; and when subconvulsive subjects
were rc-treated by convulsive applications, the improvement rate .was similar to the original convulsive group (2).
In the subconvulsive treated subjects, considerable amounts
of electric current passed between the bitemporal electrodes.
It appeared that the therapeutic agent was not the total electrical
current, per sez but an all or none quality manifested by the
grand mal seizure (8,12)o

significance of the grand mal
seizure was examined in studies of the inhalant convulsant,
hexafluorodiethylether (Indoklon). Similar degrees of electroThe

graphic change, improvement rates, types of behavioral change
and changes in neuropsychological task behavior were observed in
the inhalant and in electrically treated groups (13).

It

apparent that not all subjects manifesting
high degrees of physiologic change were rated as 'improved’. In
a descriptive typologic study, five patterns were described,
empirically termed 'euphoric', 'hypomanic', 'somatization',
'paranoid-withdrawal', and ‘panic'. While the first two of these
adaptive modes were rated as 'much improved', the latter two were

seen as *unimproved' or 'worse' (1h).

variables, it was reported that
patients rated as 'much improved' and 'recovered' frequently
manifested personality patterns similar to that described by
Weinstein and Kahn as the explicit verbal denial personality.
In language patterns, patients expressed the 'language of denial',
when diffuse brain change was induced, exhibiting such aspects as

frequently than unimproved subjects. Other indices related to
favorable outcome were high F Scale score (15), and Rorschach
determinants of color, absent movement and absent form-color (16,17).
In this population, also, favorable outcome was associated with low
educational achievement and foreign birth (18).
ANTICHOLINERGIC COMPOUNDS AND CONVULSIVE THERAPY

Seeking a way to augment the degree of post-convulsive
slow wave

activity,

an

anticholinergic

compound,

diethazine,

EEG

was

given intravenously at various stages of the convulsive therapy
process (19). Contrary to expectations, diethazine caused an
immediate and sustained decrease in EEG slowing. Patients with

denial language patterns relinquished them. Instead of euphoria
and well being, the subjects were irritable, anxious and expressive
of pre-treatment patterns. In subjects prior to convulsive or
drug therapy, diethazine induced excitement, tension, anxiety and
illusory sensations.
Subsequent studies with other central anticholinergic
compounds (WIN-2299, JB-318,336, benactyzine) showed behavioral
and electrographic patterns similar to diethazine. Similar
desynchronization of post-convulsive EEG slowing was also noted with
central sympathomimetic hallucinogens (amphetamine, mescaline,
LSD-25), and has been reported for antihistamines (diphenylhydraminc)
These observations led to the suggestion that an increase in central
cholinergic activity was a biochemical basis for the convulsive
therapy process (20).

�PSYCHOTROPIC DRUGS AND EEG

During

this period, the

drugs aroused

mode

of action of newer psychotropic

interest. Following the concepts derived

from

convulsive therapy, the neurophysiological changes induced by drugs
were tested within the same acute experimental framework of the
EEG setting.
It was observed that phenothiazines (chlorpromazine,
promazine, trifluopromazine) induced EEG synchronization and a
shifting of the spectrum to the slow frequencies; meprobamate and

barbiturates, an increased synchronization and a shift of spectrum
to fast frequencies; reserpine, an increased slowing with synchronization at low dosages, and desynchronization at higher levels
(5,6). Imipramine induced desynchronization with a shift of
frequencies to the slow bands (21).
Other experimental compounds tested included BL-M188 and
phenyltoloxamine (Bristol), Deaner and its various congeners
(Biker), WY-21h9 (Wyeth) and frenquel (Merrill). For each, no
consistent electrographic pattern was recorded.
It was suggested that psychopharmacological agents provide a
means for eliciting a variety of neurophysiological patterns in
contrast to the single pattern of induced convulsions. Furthermore, the type of neurophysiological alteration, as reflected in
EEG synchrony and frequency
patterns, was related to specified
types of behavioral adaptation. Increasing EEG synchrony and a
shift to slow frequencies were associated with tranquillization,
sedation and decreasing agitation; while desynchronization and a
shift to fast frequencies was associated with excitement, illusions,

�and

delusional ideation (6,20).

These observations are

consistent
with hypotheses of Wikler. The advantages of EEG techniques for
the assay of new psychotropic agents have already been reported
(6).

�97PSYCHOPHARMACOLOGY EVALUATION PROGRAM

these studies and is designed to answer the following

dosage random assignment drug study was undertaken. Based on
our
clinical experiences with various psychotropic compounds from
l9Sh to 1959, three classes were selected on the basis of
their
patterns of EEG response. The agents selected were those with

either predominant desynchronizing patterns, synchronizing and
slowing, or minimal or no effect. Patients referred for drug
therapy, after medical examination, and after all other medications

have been discontinued are randomly assigned to a
compound in one

of these three classes.

Patients are predominantly middle class, urban, with high
educational attainment. Hillside Hospital is a non-profit,

philanthropic supported psychiatric institution, admitting voluntary
patients for extensive psychotherapeutic treatment. The mean
duration of stay for patients is seven months. Convulsive and
psychotropic drug therapies are prescribed by staff psychiatrists
on referral to the Department. All treatment is administered by
Departmental staff, so that the experimental variables of drug
dosage, route of administration, assignment to groups, 323. are
readily controlled. All patients in the hospital are available
for study.
After a testing period, all patients receive no cc of liquid
medication daily from individually labelled bottles. Dosages are
increased in fixed weekly steps until a maximum at h weeks. After
two weeks on maximum dosage, re-testing occurs.
To date, 1ho subjects have been
referred, and 110 have completed the study period. Preliminary analyses of the data are now
in progress.
Behavioral Change: In a survey of the behavioral adaptations
of patients receiving phenothiazines or imipramine during 1958-59,
various clusters of behaviors were developed. The typologies were
based on the treatment response and on pre-treatment psychiatric
profiles. In the present study, the typologies are being tested,
and various measures of behavioral change are being studied. These
include therapist referral questionnaires and six week evaluations;
therapist and patient Clyde Mood Scales; Lorr Scale evaluations in
interview by two research psychiatrists, and Lorr Ward Scales;
and patient self-retina including the Johns Hopkins symptom check

the Chicago Attitude Scales.
Neuropsychology: Psychologic tasks have been viewed both as
change variables and predictive variables. In convulsive therapy,
changes in memory tasks (22), tactile perception (23,2h), WechslerBellevue (13), OFF (13), figure-ground tasks (25), and tachistoscopic recognition of figures (26) were related to the degree of
induced neurophysiological change. For each task, the degree of
decrement in task performance was found to be positively correlated
with the amount of EEG slowing. Following treatment completion,
with the return of physiologic indices to pre-treatment levels,
performance in these psychological tasks also returned to pretreatment levels, or higher - a betterment of performance ascribed
and

to practice effect.
Denial scores on interview (27), Rorschach determinants (16,17),
F Scale scores (15,17), language patterns after amobarbital (28),
auditory feedback and perception of the visual upright have been
viewed as predictive indices of the behavioral changes following
ECT.

These various tasks are now being assessed with psychotropic

agents, for both their capacity to change with various agents and
their capacity ts predict change.
Electroencephalography: In the convulsive therapy studies,
the degree of EEG slowing was measured by counting the consecutive
waves in selected samples (7). When the more subtle changes of
drug effects are studied, it is necessary to apply less tedious
techniques. Electronic frequency analysis was introduced in

�August 1959.

By

measurement of the pen deflection for various

frequencies from 3 to 33 cps in ten second epochs, rapid measurement of apparently small changes in total activity and frequency
spectra are now obtained and applied.
Other physiological variables studied in this program include
the response of EEG to intravenous chlorpromazine, blood pressure
reaponse to mecholyl, the EKG, radioactive iodine uptake, and
analyses of various blood and urine elements.

�-11PSYCHOLINGUISTICS

series of studies in the Department have been devoted
to formal language patterns.
Following the studies of syntactic language patterns (28)
Another

in convulsive therapy, other aspects of language were studied for
their relation as indices of change in interpersonal behavior}.
Jaffe, after considerable exploration with various linguistic
measures, suggested that type-token-ratios (TTR) of consecutive
samples of dyadic speech may be a useful index (29,30). While
TTR had previously been applied to written texts or the language

individuals, Jaffe indicated that the two person communication (dyad) was a more significant index of the state of
the interaction than analyses of separate samples of the
participants.
Applying this technique to convulsive therapy patients,
changes in TTR mean and standard deviations were related both to
the degree of induced EEG slow wave activity and to syntactic
language patterns obtained in independent struuctured interviews.
Speech became more repetitive (lowered mean TTR) and more variable
in consecutive samples (increased standard deviation) (31). In
interviews before and after the intravenous administration of
centrally active agents, similar changes were observed. Agents
with a predominant synchronization pattern on the EEG exhibited a
decrease in mean TTR and increase in standard deviation of scores,
while desynchronizing compounds elicited greater variability in
samples of

speech patterns (increase in

TTR

mean) and

decrease in variability

of consecutive scores (decrease in standard deviation) (32).

other language measures studied included distress-relief
quotients, self-reference, and alteration in tense and person.
It was suggested that these psycholinguistic measures are potent
techniques for the operational analyses of physiological and
psychological effects of psychopharmacologic agents (32);

�SOCIOLOGIC STUDIEE

In the course of these psychiatric programs, considerable
interest was engendered in the family organization to which patients

returning. Also, the general Problem of the relation of social
factors to choice and results of psychiatric treatment, and the
specific prohlem of the relation of these factors to the referral
patterns led to a series of population studies. In one study (33),
education, age, place of birth and score on the California F scale
were significantly related to the type of therapy received and the
utilization of adjunctive hospital services. Thus, patients who
were older, poorly educated, had higher F scores and were foreignborn, particularly in Eastern Europe, were most likely to be referred for electroshock. These relationships were present independent of diagnoses. Within the group of electroshock patients, the
time for referral for ECT was also related to these factors.
In a second study (18), duration of heapitalization, discharge
evaluation and diagnoses were related to the same social factors.
For example, patients hospitalized for the shortest period were
oldest, had the least education, were most likely to have been
foreign-born and had the higher P Scale scores. Younger, nativeborn, more educated, lower F Scale score patients were hospitalized
the longest. These relationships held true within treatment type
and within diagnostic class. On discharge, older patients had the
most favorable ratings. In ECT, patients rated as recovered or
much improved had the highest F scores, least education and were
most likely to be foreign-born. In another study of patient
were

�refusal of

similar relationships were observed (3h).
These relationships are now under study in the Out-Patient
Department, and in a tri-hospital comparative study. In the
latter study, the populations of three hospitals with prevailing
differing clients, in which all therapies areenually available to
all patients, - Menninger Foundation Hospital (upper-class,
Protestant), Massachusetts Mental Health Center (lower-class,
Catholic) and Hillside Hospital (middle-class, Jewish) are being
assessed. It has been “postulated that these relationships reflect
the influence of social background on psychological processes,
such as habitual patterns of communication and modes of expression.
The contribution of these factors to the pattern of mental illness,
and the patient-therapist interaction are under study.

�EXPERIMENTAL PSYCHIATRIC RESEARCH
AT HILLSIDE
Review and Prospect
MAX FINK,

MD.

The dedication of Hillside Hospital as a Research Institute
has been a dream of many of its students—a dream that may
achieve realization in this decade. Dr. Tarachow was an early
proponent of this view; and both in his sponsorship of the Journal, and in his encouragement of research studies, he presaged
this development. He was also the inadvertent sire of the research studies in experimental psychiatry. While I was a resident in psychiatry in 1952, we collaborated in a study of the
relation of the early separation of child from a parent to the
adult choice of neurosis. Reviewing the hospital records of ﬁve
previous years we concluded that there was, indeed, a relation—
neurotic patients with obsessional neuroses had a signiﬁcantly,
greater incidence of separation than patients with hysterical
neuroses (2). This report was the beginning of the patient population studies described here.
Since 1954 the various programs in experimental psychiatry have
been devoted to an understanding of the mode of action of the psy-

chiatric therapies of the hospital. The techniques have been adapted
from descriptive and dynamic psychiatry, neuropsychology, electro—
encephalography, linguistics, pharmacology, and sociology. This report reviews these studies and presents support for the creation of
a Research Institute at Hillside.

aid of a grant award of the National Institute of Mental Health,
evaluations of patient improvement were shown to be dependent
both on changes in brain function and on psychological factors. As
our understanding of convulsive therapy developed, a general neurophysiologic-adaptive view of somatic therapies emerged (6).
A change in brain function was seen as a necessary condition for
behavioral change, with the type of change varying, depending upon
psychological and sociological characteristics of the subject (22, 25).
Thus, the mode of action was not seen as either ”organic” or “psychological” but rather as the interaction of neurophysiological
changes and individual patterns of response and behavior.
This hypothesis was sustained in studies of convulsive and insulin coma therapies (21, 22); and the mode of action of the new
psychotropic agents was expressed within this hypothesis. It was suggested that psychotropic drugs would be effective to the extent that
persistent changes in brain function were induced; and that the type
of behavioral response would be related to the type of brain change,
and to individual premorbid psychologic (personality) patterns (6,
28, 40).

l. Convulsive Therapy Process: Seeking a measure of altered
neurophysiological change that was sensitive and suitable for repeated retests, various measures were studied including changes in
the face-hand test (1, 10, 13, 35), memory tests (17, 35), amount of
slow-wave activity in the EEG (16, 23) and confabulatory and denial
language patterns after amobarbital (3, 15). The latter two, EEG
and amobarbital tests, were the most sensitive indices of change in
convulsive therapy subjects. In one experiment, clinical ratings of
improvement were correlated with high degrees of change in these

indices (15, 16).
These observations were tested in a double-blind study in which
patients referred for electroshock were randomly assigned to either
convulsive or subconvulsive therapy. High degrees of electrographic
slow-wave activity and positive amobarbital tests were observed only
in the convulsive group; improvement rates were signiﬁcantly higher
in this group, and when subconvulsive subjects were retreated by
convulsive applications, the improvement rate was similar to the
convulsive group (22).
In subconvulsive applications, considerable electric current passes
between the electrodes. It was postulated that the therapeutic agent
was not the total electrical current per se, but the “all or none”
quality manifested by the grand-mal seizure (9, 23, 42). The signiﬁ-

�EXPERIMENTAL PSYCHIATRIC RESEARCH

161

cance of the grand-mal seizure was examined in a comparative study
of the inhalant convulsant, hexaﬂuorodiethylether (Indoklon), and
electrically induced seizures. Similar degrees of electrographic change,
improvement rates, types of behavioral adaptations, and changes in
neuropsychological task behavior were observed in both the inhalant
and in the electrically treated groups (49).
However, not all subjects manifesting high degrees of physiological change were evaluated as “improved.” In a descriptive typologic
study, ﬁve adaptive modes were described, empirically termed “euH H
phoric,” “hypomanic,” “somatization, paranoid-withdrawal,” and
“panic.” While the ﬁrst two patterns were rated as “much improved,”
the latter two were seen as “unimproved” or “worse” (50).
In studies of psychological variables, it was reported that patients
rated “much improved” and “recovered" frequently manifested
personality patterns akin to the explicit verbal denial personality type
(37). These patients expressed the “language of denial” more frequently than unimproved subjects, exhibiting such aspects as explicit
denial, minimization, displacement and clichés (27). Other psychological indices also related to favorable outcome included high F
Scale score (42), Rorschach determinants of color, absent movement
and absent form-color (30, 45), and low educational achievement and
foreign birth (31).
2. Anticholinergz'c Compounds and Convulsz've
Therapy: Seeking a way to augment the degree of postconvulsive EEG slow-wave
activity, an anticholinergic compound diethazine, was given intravenously at various stages of the convulsive therapy process (20, 24).
Unexpectedly, diethazine caused an immediate and sustained decrease in EEG slowing, which was associated with marked changes
in language and mood. In patients with denial language
patterns
(27), these could no longer be elicited. Instead of euphoria and wellbeing, the subjects became irritable, anxious, and complaining. In
subjects prior to convulsive or drug therapy, diethazine induced excitement, tension, anxiety, and illusory sensations.
Subsequent studies with other central anticholinergic compounds
and sympathomimetic hallucinogens showed behavior and electrographic patterns similar to diethazine. These observations led to the
suggestion that an increase in the cholinergic activity of the central
nervous system was the biochemical basis for the convulsive therapy
process (38).
3. Psychotropic Drugs and EEG: Following these studies, the
neurophysiological changes induced by drugs were tested within an

�162

MAX FINK

acute experimental EEG setting. It was observed that phenothiazines
induced EEG synchronization and a shifting of the frequency spectrum to the slow frequencies; meprobamate and barbiturates, an
increased synchronization and a shift of the spectrum to fast frequencies; reserpine, an increased slowing with synchronization at low
dosages, and desynchronization at higher levels (18, 26, 28, 40). Imipramine induced desynchronization with a shift of frequencies to
the slow bands (33, 34). Each active psychotropic compound was thus
shown to have a characteristic frequency pattern.
Various other experimental compounds were also tested, and for
these no consistent electrographic pattern was recorded. These compounds have since been shown to have either no or very limited clinical psychotropic activity. The absence of behavioral change with these
compounds lent further support to the assumption that brain change
is a necessary condition for the action of psychotropic drugs.
These observations suggested that psychopharmacological agents
provide a means for eliciting various types of altered brain function
in contrast to the single pattern following convulsive therapy. Furthermore, the type of neurophysiological alteration, as reﬂected in
EEG synchrony and frequency patterns, was found to be related to
speciﬁed types of behavioral adaptation. The advantage of EEG techniques for the assay of new psychotropic agents and the technical
merits of electronic frequency analysis were assayed and described
(47, 52).
4. Insulin Coma Therapy:

In our insulin coma studies we con-

firmed earlier observations that persistent alterations of brain function were related to prolonged coma and spontaneous seizures; and
saw in this relationship support for a neurophysiologic-adaptive hypothesis. With the availability of the new psychotropic agent chlorpromazine, a controlled chlorpromazine-insulin coma study was undertaken in September, 1955. As patients were referred for insulin coma
they were randomly assigned to courses of either oral chlorpromazine
for at least three months in doses adjusted to fall short of toxicity;
or insulin coma, induced by a standard technique at least ﬁfty times
in each patient. While a number of minor differences were noted
in comparing the two therapies, the results at time of discharge
showed no statistical difference in the effectiveness of both treatments.
Neither treatment seemed to affect the basic schizophrenic process,
but chlorpromazine had the advantage of being safer, easier to administer, and better suited to long-term management (21). Concurrently, following the suggestion by the Creedmoor workers that

�EXPERIMENTAL PSYCHIATRIC RESEARCH

163

divided insulin doses were superior to single insulin doses, Blumberg
and Laderman (39) essayed this problem and demonstrated no signiﬁcant merit to the multiple-dose technique. (In 1958, following the
general conﬁrmation of these observations, insulin coma therapy was
discontinued at Hillside).
5. Neuropsychology: Various psychophysical tests were adapted
from neuropsychology, where their signiﬁcance in brain-damaged
subjects had been demonstrated. The early studies assessed these tasks
as indices of altered brain function (35), and measured the range of
performances of psychiatric patients, who are generally assumed not
to be brain-damaged. Thus, memory function was assessed on immediate recall, after various interpolated learning tasks (17, 35),
as well as during convulsive therapy (17). Tactile perceptual tasks
were ﬁrst examined in the clinical population (1). Later, with more
sensitive electrical tactile stimuli, Korin (10) observed the range of
thresholds in different body parts, the changes with altered brain
function (10), and the inﬂuence of set (instruction) on performance
(36). We also studied the perception of embedded geometric ﬁgures
(43), tachistoscopic presentation of embedded color ﬁgures (55), perception of the visual upright (55), critical ﬂicker frequency (49), and
interference in reading time by delayed auditory feedback (55). For
each task, the degree of decrement in task performance was found to
be positively correlated with the amount of EEG slowing. Following
treatment completion, with the return of physiological indices to pretreatment levels, performance in these psychological tasks also returned to pretreatment levels, or higher—a betterment of performance ascribed to practice effect.
Concurrently, assessment of various psychological measures as
indices predictive of behavioral change during convulsive and drug
therapies led to studies of the Rorschach determinants (30, 45), California F Scale scores (30, 42), language patterns after amobarbital
(27), denial scores on interview (37), and the perception of the visual
upright and auditory feedback (55).
6. Psycholinguistics: Concurrent with the syntactic language
studies (27), analyses of other language patterns were undertaken,
both in a search for more objective indices of behavioral change and
to gain experience in the technical problems of tape analysis for psychotherapy research. An index of variability in the vocabulary of
speech, the type-token ratio (TTR) of consecutive samples of dyadic
speech, was extensively studied (7,41, 44, 46, 56, 57).
In convulsive therapy patients, signiﬁcant changes in TTR mean

�164

MAX FINK

and standard deviations were related both to the degree of induced
EEG slow-wave activity and to syntactic language patterns obtained
in independent structured interviews. It was noted that speech became more repetitive (lowered mean TTR) and more variable in
consecutive samples (41). In interviews before and after the intravenous administration of centrally active agents, similar changes were
observed. Agents which produced predominant synchronization patterns on the EEG were related to a decrease in mean TTR and an
increase in the standard deviation of scores, while desynchronizing
compounds elicited greater variability in speech patterns and decrease in variability of consecutive scores (44).
Other language measures studied included distress-relief quotients,
self-reference, and alterations in tense and person. It was suggested
that these psycholinguistic measures are useful techniques for the
operational analyses of physiological and psychological effects of
psychopharmacological agents (44, 46).
7. Brain Damage and Schizophrenia: Following his studies at
Ittleson Center, Pollack reviewed the relationship between age of
hospitalization, intellectual functioning and prognosis in schizophrenic children and adults. He noted that initial hospitalization in
childhood and adolescence was related to I. Q. scores in the subnor—
mal range, deviant performance on psychomotor tasks, and more frequent ratings of “unimproved” at hospital discharge than was initial
hospitalization as an adult. The early and insidious onset of the behavioral syndrome “schizophrenia” was thus related to brain dysfunction (54). Findings suggest that different subgroups of schizophrenia may be classiﬁed on the basis of neuropsychological deviancy.
8. Sociological Studies: Considerable interest in the family organization to which discharged patients were returning, the relation
of social factors to choice and results of psychiatric treatment, and the
specific problem of the relation of these factors to treatment referral
patterns led to a series of population studies. In one study (8), education, age, place of birth, and score on the California F Scale were
signiﬁcantly related to the type of therapy received and the utilization of adjunctive hospital services. In a second study (31), duration
of hospitalization, discharge evaluation, and diagnosis were related
to the same social factors, while in a study of patient refusal of ECT,
similar relationships were observed (51).
These observations suggested a comparative interinstitution study,
and among three hospitals the relationships between social class and
other demographic variables (age, sex, education) to the clinical

�EXPERIMENTAL PSYCHIATRIC RESEARCH

165

variables of patient classiﬁcation (diagnosis), duration of hospitalization, selection of therapy, and discharge evaluation have been assessed.
Three teaching institutions were selected in which all therapies are
equally available to all patients—Menninger Foundation Hospital
(upper-class, Protestant), Massachusetts Mental Health Center (lowerclass, Catholic), and Hillside Hospital (middle-class, Jewish). In such
a comparison we have found the differences in designations of treatment, diagnosis, and discharge evaluation so marked as to make comparisons difﬁcult. While many relationships between social variables
and clinical variables were observed in each hospital, no social variable was found related to the clinical variables in every hospital
(53).

In an outpatient department study, sex, age, and marital status
were found to be related to the acceptance and rejection of patients
and failure to complete the application process (55).
These observations in population samples led to concurrent
studies of staff attitudes in the selection of therapy (ll, 12). In a
series of ward observation studies, Kaplan and Lefkowits indicated
the signiﬁcant role of staff attitudes (especially nursing personnel)
in the referral for subjects for somatic therapies, and in the transfer
of patients from one ward to another. (To study the inﬂuence of
staﬂ attitude on patient selection for drug therapy, we requested one
ward be designated as a “no-movement” unit. This was adopted in
September, 1959 and shortly thereafter by the whole hospital.)
PRESENT STUDIES

During the period of the convulsive therapy studies, many new
psychotropic compounds were assessed clinically (5, 21), electrographically (34, 40, 48), and psychophysically (48). The present psychopharmacology evaluation program, based on these studies, was
designed to answer the following questions:
1.

Is there a relation between measurable alteration in brain

function and behavioral change with psychotropic drugs on
chronic administration?
2. Are there pretreatment clusters of psychiatric, physiological,
and psychological variables which are related to the type of
behavioral adaptation?
3. Are such clusters related to the type and degree of physiologi-

cal change?

As an initial approximation, a double-blind, ﬁxed dosage, ran-

�166

dom assignment drug study was undertaken. Based on our clinical
experiences three types of compounds were selected on the basis of
their EEG patterns. In this study, 203 subjects were referred, and 149
have completed the testing program, from October, 1959 to July,
1961.

l. Behavioral Change: In a survey of the behavioral adaptations
of patients receiving various psychotropic compounds during 195859, a behavioral typology based on the treatment response and on
pretreatment psychiatric profiles was developed (55). In the present study, the typologies are being tested, and various measures of
behavioral change studied, including therapist ratings, self-ratings,
and various ward observation scales.
2. Neuropsychology: Psychological tasks have been viewed both
as indices of behavioral change and as predictive guides in convulsive
therapy. Each of these tasks and a selected group of motor tasks are
now being assessed for both their capacity to reveal change with
various drugs and their capacity to predict change with the drugs
in this program (48).
3. Electroencephalography: In the convulsive therapy studies,
the degree of EEG slowing was measured by counting the consecutive
waves in selected samples (16). When the more subtle changes of
drug effects are studied, it is necessary to apply less tedious techniques
(48), and electronic frequency analysis was introduced in August,
1959. By measurement of the pen deﬂection for various frequencies
from 3 to 33 cps in ten-second epochs, rapid measurement of apparently small changes in total activity and frequency spectra are
obtained (52).
Other physiological variables studied in this program include the
response of EEG to intravenous chlorpromazine, blood pressure response to mecholyl, the EKG, radioactive iodine uptake, and analyses
of various blood and urine elements.
4. Data Analysis: To analyze the data generated in this study,
we have sought the aid of complex statistical methods and computational facilities. Analyses of covariance, correlation matrices, factor
analyses, and discriminant function analyses are computations now
in progress with these data at the NIMH Psychopharmacology Service Center’s Biometric Laboratory in Washington.
THE NEXT STEPS

Favored by a national research climate and a cooperative hospital
staff, these studies have proceeded vigorously. The assets for research
in this setting have been great—a selected, intelligent patient popula-

tion resident from six to twelve months, without individual economic
limitation of hospital stay; a sophisticated administration tolerant of
controlled studies; and approval of a Board of Directors who desire
“research” as an institutional function.
As Dr. Lewis Robbins noted in his ﬁrst hospital
report in 1959,
a specialty hospital can make little impact on the mental illness
problems of the community by treatment alone. The successful treatment of 350 patients a year is but little comfort to the 40,000 resident
patients in the state hospitals of Long Island. Nor will the annual
training of twenty or thirty physicians in the arts of psychotherapy
do much to help these unfortunates or the
many thousands of ambulatory mentally ill resident in the nation. No, a therapeutic goal
alone is salutary but inadequate to our needs. As he proposed, the
answer may lie in the dedication of a “research hospital,” as it is
here that a specialty hospital can truly excel.
The charter has been written in the Board’s assertion of research
as a hospital goal. With the assets of an exemplary therapeutic facility,
such rededication can provide the stimulus for the continuous
study
of the cause of mental illness and of methods of therapy.
Such dedication would provide the stimulus for comparative and
controlled assessments of different therapeutic techniques. Continued
study is urgently required of the selection of patients for various therapies; the application and mode of action of the therapies; and the
role of social and milieu factors in supporting the effects of our therapies.
Assessments require a meaningful classiﬁcation of subjects. The
behavioral variables alone, which are the basis of our
present diagnostic schemata, are unsatisfactory. Study is urgently required of the
applicability of social and demographic variables; psychological task
performance proﬁles; typologies based on behavioral response to deﬁned stresses or drugs; and physiological reactivity measures. Such
classiﬁcations are also essential for any biochemical, physiological,
or evaluative study to provide homogeneous samples and comparable
controls.
Assessments also require meaningful indices of evaluating change.
Present global “improvement” ratings and socialization measures are
inadequate. Whether the intervening variable be milieu therapy,
psychotherapy, drug therapy, or time, the criteria of behavioral
change require deﬁnition. The applicability of rating scales, language
tasks, self~ratings, psychophysical change scores, family assessments,
etc., require study and evaluation.
Recent studies of psychotic subjects have provided the suggestion

�MAX FINK

168

that there is a neurologic factor in a group of the schizophrenias.
The high incidence of electrographic and neurologic dysfunction, the
lack of behavioral response to all therapies, and the relentless course
of the illness suggest an “organic” involvement in this cluster. Such
a substrate must be clearly sought by the application of biochemical,
neurophysiological, and epidemiological techniques to various clusters of young psychotic subjects.
These are broader views of some of the questions studied in the
programs in experimental psychiatry of the past seven years. These

programs, and the contemporary projects in biochemistry and in
medicine, provide models of bootstrap studies undertaken with
limited support. A dedication of Hillside Hospital as a Research
Institute will provide the needed focus and impetus for the scientiﬁc
and humanitarian forces of the community to join in a common endeavor to resolve the problems of the mentally ill.
Acknowledgment: Participants in these programs include the
present members of the Department of Experimental Psychiatry:
Ira Belmont, Martin A. Green, Abraham Kaplan, Eric Karp, Donald F. Klein, John C. Kramer, Max Pollack, and Arthur Willner.
Former associates included Karl Andermann, Joseph Jaffe, Robert
L. Kahn, Hyman Korin, George Krauthamer, Nathaniel Siegel;
and Research Fellows Barre Alan, Fred Coleman, Harold Esecover,
Stanley Friedman, Henry J. Lefkowits, and Robert Shaw. The
cooperation of Arnold G. Blumberg of the Department of Medicine in the present program is gratefully acknowledged. The reports listed here are the result of the collaboration of these workers
and the professional staffs of the hospital who gave unstintingly of
their time and their good-will.
