Extract

In a previous investigation (Foulds and Caine, 1958) a series of consecutive admissions (women) admitted to Runwell Hospital and diagnosed as psychoneurotic were found to divide into four groups in terms of presenting syndrome (hysteria or dysthymia) and of personality type (hysteroid or obsessive). When psychological tests were administered to these groups it was found that some measurements were related to diagnostic category whilst others were related to personality type.
