Assessment of DSM-IV personality disorders in obsessive-compulsive disorder: Comparison of clinical diagnosis, self-report questionnaire and semi-structured interview. [IF 1.7]

In patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder, personality disorders are not many times assessed according to DSM-IV criteria. The purpose of the present study is to examine the prevalence of personality disorders diagnosed according to the DSM-IV in a severely disordered OCD population (n = 65) with three different methods of assessing personality disorders (structured interview, questionnaire, and clinical diagnoses). Furthermore, correspondence between these different methods was investigated and their construct validity was examined by relating the three methods to external variables. Each method resulted in a predominance of Cluster C personality disorders, and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder had the highest prevalence. However, there was generally low correspondence regarding which patient had which personality disorder. Results concernign the relation of external variables were the most promising for the structured clinical interview

Partitioning the Heritability of Tourette Syndrome and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Reveals Differences in Genetic Architecture

The direct estimation of heritability from genome-wide common variant data as implemented in the program Genome-wide Complex Trait Analysis (GCTA) has provided a means to quantify heritability attributable to all interrogated variants. We have quantified the variance in liability to disease explained

Les représentations de la Gaule et des Gaulois sous le régime de Vichy

International audienceThis article approaches a certain interpretation of the Gallic, Roman and Gallo-Roman Antiquity in France during the German occupation under the Vichy regime, from 1940 to 1944, to justify the German domination and the French collaboration. I will briefly approach three aspects of such interpretation: the first, the relation between Ancient History and contemporary world, emphasizing the modern character of the antiquity; the following aspect, it is the preservation of the Vercingetorix image along the French history and the privileged place that it has occupied and still occupies in the national historyand among the popular imaginary. Vercingetorix is placed beside other important characters such as Charlemagne, Clovis, and Joanne D’Arc among others that embody the eternal cycle: uplift, decadence and national redemption, by creating a complex game of identity constructions. In the end, the myth returns: Vercingetorix and the National Revolution.Cet article a pour objectif d’analyser une certaine lecture de l’histoire de l’Antiquité gauloise, romaine et gallo-romaine en France, pendant l’occupation allemande et sous le régime de Vichy, entre 1940 et 1944, en vue de justifier cette domination allemande et la collaboration officielle française. J’aborderai trois aspects, bien que de façon rapide : tout d’abord, les rapports entre l’histoire de l’Antiquité et le monde contemporain, en soulignantle caractère moderne de l’Antiquité ; deuxièmement, la monumentalisation de l’image de Vercingétorix au sein de l’histoire française et la place privilégiée que celui-ci a occupée alors, et qu’il occupe toujours, dans l’histoire nationale et dans l’imaginaire populaire (aux côtés de Charlemagne, de Clovis, de Jeanne d’Arc et de tant d’autres qui incarnent le cycle éternel : ascension, déclin et récupération par la nation, en un jeu complexe de constructions identitaires) ; enfin, le retour de la légende : Vercingétorix et la Révolution Nationale
