An attempt has been made to discuss the position of drug therapy of various types of mental disorders within a wider perspective, and especially to clarify the relationship between drug therapy and non-drug treatments. It was necessary to deal separately with the various classes of psychopharmaceuticals and the disorders treated with them, and for our purposes it was also sensible to refer as far as possible to controlled, i.e. comparative, studies. The drawback of this evidence-based approach is obvious comparative studies of therapeutic procedures almost necessarily favor one of the compared treatments because they can never be carried out with completely identical preconditions for all treatments (Elkin et //.. 1988). Indeed, as discussed by Klein (2000). various meta-analytical studies comparing psychotherapy with pharmacotherapy were scrutinized and discovered to include studies that were not entirely blind, random, controlled or of high quality, leading to inaccurate conclusions. Thus, meta-analyses based on flawed studies are clearly inadequate for the establishment of treatment guidelines (Klein, 2000). On the other hand, the value of an admittedly incomplete summary such as presented here is that results obtained in different places by different authors with different preconditions can be critically compared and related one to the other. 

In the course of the treatment of schizophrenia, depressive and various anxiety syndromes, it has been found repeatedly that psychopharmaceuticals and psychotherapies are likely to modify different types of symptoms and

A second goal has been to illustrate that all of the activities described in this book are ultimately conducted to improve patients health and well-being by changing their biology for the better. It is appropriate to remind ourselves frequently that our work has a very real impact on patients lives. New drug development is a very complicated and difficult undertaking, but one that makes an enormous difference to the health of people across the globe. It is a noble pursuit.

All the above discussion has centred on cationic polymerizations. It should be realized that all the other types of homopolymerization mentioned for the monomers can occur in copolymerizations as well [14, 159]. Even cyclopolymerizations [160] and charge transfer reactions [161, 162] are known. But sorting out the exact reactions that are occurring and the efficiency with which they occur has a long way to go. 

In summary, although copolymerizations of many cyclic ethers and cyclic sulphides have been reported, really meaningful determination of the kinetic parameters is still in its infancy. These studies are still at the stage where it is most important to recall the precept reiterated recently by Plesch [8] First the Chemistry, then the Kinetics.  

After years of effort on the part of many scientists some reasonably well-substantiated kinetic parameters to describe the polymerization of some cyclic ethers and of some cyclic sulphides have evolved. It has been demonstrated that the choice of solvent (or lack of it) and of initiator are critical. The need for an independent means of determining the number of active sites has been proven again and again. The necessity of understanding the chemistry before embarking on a detailed kinetic analysis has been shown. 

At the present time the available data seems to allow a few over-all conclusions to be drawn about the influence of the chemical structure of the monomer on its polymerizability and its rate of polymerization.

The intermediacy of polynuclear cluster species in catalytic cycles has been unequivocally proved in few occasions only. These occasions are those that use catalyst precursors derived from the face-bridged compound [Ru3(, -H)(/i3-ampy)(CO)9] (38) (Table 1, entries 24, 25, 27, 29-31) and from the heteronuclear cluster [Ru6Pt3( 3-H)(/z-H)3(CO)2i] (58),cases in which the study of the catalytic activity has been accompanied by the identification of intermediate cluster 

The few studies made with catalytic precursors containing phosphine ligands have revealed that the presence of such ligands in the clusters generally results in slower catalytic rates and sometimes in ligand degradation via P-C or C-H bond-activation processes. Current data do not, therefore, warrant recommendation of the use of phosphine-substituted clusters as catalyst precursors for hydrogenation reactions. 

When catalytic intermediates have been characterized, at least three metal atoms are directly involved in the reactions. The observed types of coordination and activation of the substrates in the elusters might have mechanistic implications in heterogeneously catalyzed reactions in which the substrates are bound to a metal surface. 

Therefore, from these comments, it can be concluded that the results surveyed in this review can only be considered as preliminary in a field where much more work is needed

It has been shown in this chapter that NMR techniques can be of great value in solving many problems connected with minor structures in macromolecules. The possibilities are certainly not exhausted and many interesting systems remain to be examined. If one outstanding problem were to be mentioned, it could well be branching in polymers derived from vinyl monomers this important structural feature has been examined thoroughly in only a few cases. 

It seems certain that two-dimensional NMR techniques will be very effective in work on abnormal structures in polymer molecules. Mention has been made [4] of the value of two-dimensional NMR for providing unambiguous assignments for end-groups in copolymers made using azo initiators.

Maurer et al. [100] have examined the two-phase blend of ABS (Tg= 110°C) and BPAPC (Tg=151°C) using stress relaxation measurements. Four regimes of behavior were found. Below 70 °C both t—Tj and (t — superpositions were possible, because the aging rates (p) of both components were equal. Between 70 C and 100 °C only (t — ta) superposition was achieved. However, dose to the glass transition of ABS, and between the TgS of both components, neither was valid. While a relationship similar to Eq. (6.11) has been used by other workers, Booij and Palmen [101] reported that a more precise form was  

On a simplistic level one might expect that the physical aging behavior of blends could be predicted from that of the component polymers on an additive basis. This is clearly 

In weakly interacting systems the differences in chain stiffness, reflected in the Tg values, can determine the aging characteristics of a blend. This can be quite variable, however, and no clear cut predictions can be made because different factors also come into play. 

The most obvious of those is the presence of secondary specific interactions, such as hydrogen bonding. In blends where there is significant intermolecular H-bonding, there is a noticeable effect on the rate of aging. The H-bonded blend is a reversibly crosslinked system in which the available free volume is changed, the molecular relaxation processes can be impeded or retarded, and the extent of aging in the system is reduced. 

Comparable results are obtained in some heterogeneous nanocomposite systems. Inclusion of an additive to the polymer, where there is no interaction between the components, has htde or no effect on the aging behavior of the host polymer. The situation changes dramatically when the additive can interact with the polymer through secondary bonding, and the rate of aging of the polymer host is decreased significantly.
