Abstract

Jacobsen's theory of affects and psychotic depression can be of benefit to the management of patients, even when recourse to physical therapies is required. Awareness of such psychodynamic issues would improve staff training, morale, and practice; rotation schemes for junior staff may have serious effects through the abandonment of patients and established therapeutic relationships.
