[Comparative research on manic conditions between monopolar mania and manic-depressive disease].

Comparing manic states in three purely manic patients on the one hand and in three manic-depressive ones on the other, the authors conclude that the phenomenological differences between the two diseases are based on different premorbid personality structures, to be more precise: on different attitudes towards their fellow human beings. And this difference is examined with respect to the question how the en-ryo between two people works.
