Double headings in latex

I have a problem with latex. I want to create a heading with a special name and aumomatic numbering of the chapters.

I use the \chapter{Introduction} command to create the chapter named Introduction. In the Content it is listed as "1 Introduction" which is right. In the text I get two headings. The first is "Chapter 1" and under that I get "Introduction". So actually the \chapter generates two headings. What can I do?

You could also look at MemoirChapterStyles or fncychap for a whole bunch of different chapter heading styles that you could use without having to redefine \@makechapterhead by hand.

This is the default layout when using a \chapter in report or book. You need to update \@makechapterhead in order to achieve the layout you're after:

enter image description here

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\makeatletter
\patchcmd{\@makechapterhead}% <cmd>
  {\@chapapp\space\thechapter\par\nobreak\vskip 20\p@}% <search>
  {\Huge\thechapter\space}% <replace>
  {}{}% <success><failure>
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\chapter{ChapterName}
\end{document}
