An ergot alkaloid, 2-br-alpha-ergocryptine (CB 154), referred to hereafter as brom-ergocryptine, has been reported to inhibit puerperal lactation (Varga, Lutterbeck et al., 1972), and to terminate breast secretion in patients with inappropriate lactation (Lutterbeck, Pryor et al., 1971). Besser, Park et al. (1972) found that the drug suppressed elevated levels of plasma prolactin in five patients whose inappropriate lactation was due to a variety of causes. This hormonal effect was accompanied by clinical changes such as the disappearance of galactorrhoea, return of menstruation, and an increase in sexual potency.

The Merseyside Council on Alcoholism (M.C.A.) is the first operative regional council on alcoholism in the United Kingdom; it is a voluntary organization employing full-time staff (Kenyon, 1972). In its first ten years it has counselled over 4,000 alcoholics; about one third of these needed admission to hospital, so arrangements for admission were early established with general and psychiatric hospitals and with the regional addiction unit. After individual counselling by the M.C.A. (aided when necessary by detoxification at home, or in a medical or psychiatric ward) the alcoholics usually return to work.

An attempt to compare observers’ evaluations of aspects of group psychotherapy with the patients’ assessments of the same selected variables (i.e. ‘acceptance’, ‘abreaction’ and ‘improvement’) is described.
Correlation coefficients between the observers’ and clients’ rankings of these factors were obtained, and the implications of the findings are discussed in relation to each group.
