東大阪市立総合病院精神科における新患調査 : エゴグラムと診断との関連を中心に

Abstract

We investigated the demographic characteristics of 704 outpatients in the Department of Psychiatry, Higashiosaka City General Hospital, during the period from March 2005 to April 2006, and the profile pattern in 294 patients was assessed by Tokyo University Egogram (TEG). About 80% of the patients were diagnosed with F0 (organic, including symptomatic, mental disorders), F3 (mood (affective) disorders), or F4 (neurotic, stress-related and somatoform disorders). About half of the patients were aged 60 or older and there was a tendency that more elderly people visited the psychiatry department. Analysis of TEG in patients showed high adapted child and low free child scales tendency overall. TEG profile pattern reflects personality traits in patients with mental disorders respectively and might be a useful tool for supporting each patient based on personality.
