Bradfield has pointed out that little is known of the relationship between grammatical forms and the "values and attitudes associated with economic activity." This paper reports on a current research project which is exploring the relationship between possession and transitivity and property‐based societies. The author posits an evolutionary sequence of possessive verb development similar to the evolutionary development of color terms shown in the work of Berlin and Kay.

A brief examination of the principles of medical care as set forth in the Medical Care Act of 1966 with its reference to psychiatry as separate branch of clinical medicine is presented. The success of therapeutic work & rehabilitation in Czechoslovakia from the inception of out-patient clinics attached to large hospitals to the present aim for such clinics in each district of 40,000 inhabitants by 1980 is noted. A survey published by the European Office of the World Health Organization based on a comparative survey of 5 selected European countries (Czechoslovakia, Poland, UK, France, & Turkey) indicated that the out-patient psychiatric service in Czechoslovakia is one of the best organized systems in the socialist countries. Modern psychiatry in that country uses 3 kinds of therapeutic treatment: pharmcotherapy, psychotherapy & social therapy. Increasing attention given to undesirable social phenomena & the problems these lead to has led to research in the areas of alcoholism, drug addiction, & suicide. Effective measures used to cope with such social aspects of mental health problems are cited: consultation centers for alcoholics; 'sobering-up' stations in every district town; lectures on the harmful effects of drug addiction; the Opium Act; 1962 Ministry of Health Act guaranteeing psychiatric care for anyone attempting suicide; & the 'friendship line' available in all cities.

Recognition of the influence of soc & cultural factors in disease goes back to antiquity, though specification of the ways in which this influence is exerted still lacks precision. The effects of the soc order on health & disease are many & varied. Soc definitions determine the actions which persons & societies take in the face of given symptoms 9L disorders. Soc practices may exert their effects directly on the organism & its physical capacities or may operate priniarily through psychol'al processes which are linked to the maintenance of bodily equilibriums. In either instance, these effects tend to be nonspecific as to disease. SS, variations in life styles, adaptation to new or stressful situations work group structure, & fam patterns have been found to be associated with diff's in the incidence of a variety of diseases. The intricacies of dealing with soc factors in disease & the ramifications for the larger society are plainly seen in the case of smoking. AA.
