12 Psychiatrists who Shaped Psychiatry in Turkey in the Republic's First Century. / Cumhuriyetin 100 Yilinda Türkiye'de Psikiyatriyi Sekillendiren 12 Psikiyatr.

Who are the influential figures that molded Turkish Psychiatry into what it is today? This review introduces 12 psychiatrists who shaped psychiatry in Turkey during the first century of the Republic. The article presents Rasit Tahsin, the first neuropsychiatrist who establish an academic psychiatry department in Turkey; Mazhar Osman, who had so much influence that his name became a phrase to describe the mentally ill, and still lives on with the institutions he built; Ihsan Sukru, the founder of neuropathology in Turkey, a historical figure in viral encephalitis research; Fahrettin Kerim Gokay, famous for his political career and his fight against alcohol and tobacco; Rasim Adasal, a Cretian who is a cornerstone in Ankara psychiatry and a well-known figure in Turkish society life; Abdulkadir Ozbek, who introduced psychodrama to Anatolia-his 'earth'; Leyla Zileli, who disseminated psychoanalysis from Ankara to Turkey; Orhan Ozturk, a founding figure for the Journal, the Association, and Hacettepe; Ayhan Songar, a prominent figure in society and also in state bureaucracy; Ozcan Koknel, the amiable face of psychiatry in society and a respected voice; Oguz Arkonaç, a vigorous advocate for the establishment of contemporary psychiatry with DSM III in Bakirköy and then in Turkey; and Gunsel Koptagel-Ilal, who progressed the work in the psychosomatics as one of Turkey's first female psychiatry academics. As with any list, we acknowledge that absolute consensus is not possible; we are preparing a more extensive selection to be published as a book next year. We present our selection to your liking, hoping that one or more of our colleagues reading this article will be included in the selection for the next century, reflecting our collective conscious creation of psychiatry in Turkey.

Effect of urinary leakage on sexual function during sexual intercourse.

AIM: This study was planned to determine the effect of urinary leakage on sexual function during sexual intercourse. METHODS: The study group included 32 incontinent women who had urinary leakage during sexual intercourse and the control group consisted of 60 women with no such problem. The Sexual History Form of Schover and Jensen was completed in face-to-face interviews in a private room. RESULTS: When compared with the women without any problem, the women with urinary incontinence were 4.7 times less satisfied with their sexual life and their partners had ejaculation without full erection 3.1 times more. In order to cope with the problem of urinary incontinence during coitus the women themselves adopted several methods. Trying to keep their partners unaware of the problem and deferring the intercourse were among the most frequently adopted methods. 43.7% of the study group indicated that this problem affected their sex life. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study support the view that urinary leakage during coitus affects women's sex life adversely.
