Endlager fuer radioaktive Abfaelle: Schachtanlage Konrad

Das Atomgesetz schreibt ein Planfestellungsverfahren vor. Nach Einleitung des Verfahrens im Jahr 1982 wurden die Planunterlagen vom Antragsteller vervollstaendigt und 1991 oeffentlich ausgelegt. Die Eroerterung der Unterlagen konnte im Maerz 1993 abgeschlossen werden. Die Ergebnisse werden nun von der zustaendigen Genehmigungsbehoerde - dem Niedersaechsischen Umweltministerium -bewertet. Bei einem positiven Planfeststellungsbeschluss, der fuer das Jahr 1994 erwartet wird, kann das Endlager nach einer dreijaehrigen Umbauzeit fruehestens 1997 in Betrieb gehen. (orig./HSCH)The Atomic Energy Act requires a plan approval procedure to be carried out prior to licensing of such repositories. The application has been filed in 1982, and the documents have been completed by the site operator and laid open for public inspection in 1991. The information and discussion procedure has been concluded in March 1993, the results are now being assessed and examined by the competent licensing authority which is the Ministry of the Environment of Lower Saxony. After plan approval, which is expected to be decided in 1994, the required backfitting and reconstruction work in the Konrad mine will take about three years in time, so that the operating phase will probably start in 1997.

Fatores associados a abandono precoce do tratamento em psicoterapia de orientação analítica Factors related to early dropout in psychoanalytic psychotherapy

INTRODUÇÃO: A eficácia da psicoterapia psicanalítica foi bem estabelecida através de ensaios clínicos controlados; no entanto, algumas das características individuais que predizem melhores resultados são ainda pouco estudadas. O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar a associação entre os dados demográficos, o diagnóstico psiquiátrico, a sintomatologia clínica, a qualidade de vida, os critérios de indicação da psicoterapia, o estilo defensivo e o abandono da psicoterapia psicanalítica antes de 3 meses de tratamento. MÉTODO: Uma amostra consecutiva de 56 pacientes foi avaliada após a indicação da psicoterapia, através de um protocolo padronizado, do World Health Organization Quality of Life Bref (WHOQOL-Bref), do Self Report Questionnaire, do Defensive Style Questionnaire, da Escala de Funcionamento Defensivo do Manual de Diagnóstico e Estatística das Perturbações Mentais, 4ª edição, texto revisado (DSM-IV-TR) e da Avaliação do Funcionamento Global (Global Assessment of Functioning), e acompanhada por 3 meses. RESULTADOS: A taxa de abandono foi de 12,5%. Não houve diferença quanto à Avaliação do Funcionamento Global, Self Report Questionnaire e Defensive Style Questionnaire. Os pacientes que abandonaram estavam satisfeitos com sua saúde, apesar da gravidade da sua psicopatologia, mesmo controlando para outras variáveis (p < 0,0001). O grupo que permaneceu em tratamento apresentava melhor adaptação prévia e maior proporção de indivíduos com inteligência estimada como média ou superior (p < 0,05). Maior proporção de pacientes no grupo do abandono foi classificada em níveis imaturos, segundo a Escala de Funcionamento Defensivo do DSM-IV-TR. CONCLUSÕES: A gravidade da psicopatologia, isoladamente, não teve associação com o abandono; entretanto, menor nível de insight e defesas mais imaturas (especialmente narcisistas) foram associados a maiores taxas de abandono. Esses aspectos devem ser seriamente considerados, juntamente com as expectativas do paciente quanto ao método analítico, e avaliados criteriosamente antes da indicação.<br>INTRODUCTION: The efficacy of psychoanalytic psychotherapy is well established in controlled clinical trials; however, some individual characteristics that predict better outcomes are yet poorly studied. This study aimed at evaluating the association of demographics data, psychiatric diagnosis, clinical impairment, quality of life, aspects of psychotherapy suitability, defensive style and dropout before 3 months. METHOD: A consecutive sample of 56 subjects was evaluated after psychotherapy indication through a standardized protocol, World Health Organization Quality of Life Bref (WHOQOL-Bref), Self Report Questionnaire, Defensive Style Questionnaire, Scale of Defensive Functioning of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition (DSM-IV-TR) and Global Assessment of Functioning, and followed for 3 months. RESULTS: Dropout rate was 12.5%. There was no difference between groups in respect to Global Assessment of Functioning, Self Report Questionnaire and Defensive Style Questionnaire scores. Dropout patients reported to be satisfied with their health, despite psychopathological severity, even when other variables were controlled (p < 0.0001). The group that remained in psychotherapy was better adjusted before treatment and had average or superior estimated intelligence (p < 0.05). More dropout patients presented lower levels of defensive style, by means of the Scale of Defensive Functioning of DSM-IV-TR. CONCLUSIONS: Psychopathology severity alone did not predict dropout. However, patients with lower levels of insight and immature defenses (especially narcissistic) had higher dropout rates. Therefore, such aspects must be seriously considered, along with patients' expectations about the psychoanalytic method, and should be judiciously assessed before indication
