["Revolution psychoses" in 1989 and their catamnesis]

In the submitted paper the author deals in detail with patients hospitalized in two large Moravian sanatoria on account of psychotic disorders in the development of which events of November 1989 played some part. The author sought in these patients common anamnestic data, analyzed the psychopathological picture of the disease and finally subjected all the patients to a three-year catamnestic follow-up. The results were compared with several publications dealing with the same subject. The author had, however, the advantage of a longer follow-up and more extensive sources of information, whereby she made also use of contact in writing with former patients. The achieved results were processed by statistical methods, compared also in parts of the group classified by age and sex. In the presented paper only the most interesting data are given. The most positive conclusion is the fact that 31.43% of the group had no longer any psychic complaints, 81.63% of the group work (and another 6.06% returned to work after invalidization). With one exception all patients or their doctors evaluate the present situation at least as satisfactory.
