Definition: The schizophrenic disorders are characterized in general by fundamental and characteristic distortions of thinking and perception, and affects that are inappropriate or blunted. Clear consciousness and intellectual capacity are usually maintained although certain cognitive deficits may evolve in the course of time. The most important psychopathological phenomena include thought echo; thought insertion or withdrawal; thought broadcasting; delusional perception and delusions of control; influence or passivity; hallucinatory voices commenting or discussing the patient in the third person; thought disorders and negative sym ...[+++]ptoms. The course of schizophrenic disorders can be either continuous, or episodic with progressive or stable deficit, or there can be one or more episodes with complete or incomplete remission. The diagnosis of schizophrenia should not be made in the presence of extensive depressive or manic symptoms unless it is clear that schizophrenic symptoms antedate the affective disturbance. Nor should schizophrenia be diagnosed in the presence of overt brain disease or during states of drug intoxication or withdrawal. Similar disorders developing in the presence of epilepsy or other brain disease should be classified under F06.2, and those induced by psychoactive substances under F10-F19 with common fourth character .5.

Stereotyped self-injurious behaviour includes repetitive head-banging, face-slapping, eye-poking, and biting of hands, lips or other body parts. All the stereotyped movement disorders occur most frequently in association with mental retardati ...[+++]on (when this is the case, both should be recorded).

It is an economy that has undergone a tremendous transformation over the course of the last two decades, with the integration of eastern Germany, an entire rebuilding of that economy, and the competitive position of the German economy, to the extent that many of the challenges within the Europe zone are in part a product of Germany's success, by which we mean — and we always try to make this fundamental distinction — that in our view the euro crisis is not a fiscal crisis at its heart and not a banking crisis at its heart; it is balance of payments crisis. ...[+++]

However, it seems to me that if we are talking about a defence review and the focus of the defence review is how do we achieve security, and security has already been defined in terms of human security, national security and international security — then the kinds of choices that Dr. Boulden talked about at the opening, the question of what are we really trying to achieve in terms of our security posture, our policy, our commitment — that comes down to fairly basic questions that first surfaced in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 about root causes versus punitive actions.

Mr. Roy Culpeper: It's not an area of strength for the IMF because it's not the traditional core strength of the IMF. It's an institution that's been developed to intervene in short-term balance of payments crises.
