[Clinical forms of major depressive states observed in the Ivory Coast. Classification trial]. / Les formes cliniques des états dépressifs majeurs observés en Côte d'Ivoire (essai de classification).

After a previous analysis of African depressions in studies based on the use of D.S.M. III as a preliminary tool, the authors are now seeking to understand more directly the different ways for depressed Ivorians to express the lowering of self-esteem, as well as the various meanings of agitation observed among them. An attempt of nosographic classification, closely linked with local reality, has been extracted from this material by the authors.

[Erickson's hypnosis]. / L'hypnose ericksonienne.

Milton H. Erickson (1901-1980) renovated the study and practice of therapeutic hypnosis. The author first presents a synthetic overview of Erickson's original work and its spread. He then illustrates this with excerpts from observations of six of his own patients which correspond to the progressive integration of an ericksonian approach into a classical psychiatric practice in a general hospital setting.
