Extract

The problem of the relationship of the endocrine system to personality and its disorders has long been an intriguing one. The literature abounds with the views of the psychiatrist, physiologist, pathologist and endocrinologist, and still there remains a multitude of challenging questions unanswered. The ætiology of personality disorders, that of the psychoses, and the true function of the endocrines and their working mechanism have never been satisfactorily determined. To establish scientifically any ætiological factor in medicine one must make a definite diagnosis of the entity, identify the ætiological factor, the specific pathological picture, and the influence of specific therapy.
