The pseudopsychopathic personality and the limbic system.
The psychiatry of the limbic system has for a variety of reasons been a neglected field of study. There is a pseudopsychopathic syndrome which is characterized by sham rage-like reactions, emotional and social instability, aggressive behavior (at times), cognitive disturbances described as a special form of incoherence, abnormal social behavior in the form of social adhesiveness, carelessness and a certain proneness to criminality. All of these phenomena are stressed by alcohol even in small amounts. Normally the abnormality of the patient is not recognized as such neither by the patient nor by his doctor, but seen as seemingly normal personality traits.
