Extract

Since Hippocrates and his Roman followers described the habitus apoplecticus and the habitus phthisicus, linking these antithetical physical types with certain temperamental peculiarities and with susceptibility to specific diseases, much research has been carried out in an attempt (1) to prove the existence of physical types and to discover their nature, and (2) to investigate the relation of these types to temperamental traits. This work has done much to clarify the issues at stake.
