We saw the patient immediately and noted that he wasn't severely deranged, as his medical records would seem to indicate; he is obviously depressed, though. His depression is a result of his marriage, since his wife, according to him, is acting in a more or less orthodox fashion from a marital standpoint and is the cause of his hospitalization which has already lasted 2-1/2 months.

The patient is lucid, well oriented, and quite vigorous intellectually, but we note that he asks for quite a few things which we can't give him. He is very demanding. We propose a ban on his use of the telephone, seeing that his bill has already climbed to $250.00, and also that he be forbidden to go out. We will keep up-to-date on his progress as frequently as possible.

The patient still doesn't know what he will do once he is permitted to leave; his plans haven't crystallized. The patient expressed uncertainly the idea of his returning to Yugoslavia, only to tell us two minutes later that he could possibly settle down in Austria, since he has already spent some time in that country.

We believe that the confusion caused by his being a landed immigrant, and therefore still a citizen of Yugoslavia, prevents us from making an immediate decision. We would prefer to keep an eye on him and to give him psychotherapy for, in our opinion, he needs it at the present time. The patient is not psychotic, and his depressed state is propitious to significant improvement.

Multiple paranoid and delirious acting in spite of a lucid exterior, complicated by dangerous aggression (emphasis added).
