Extract

In an investigation of dermatological out-patient attenders, psychometric tests measuring marital patterns, hostility and personal illness were administered to 49 married patients aged under 60. Scores on these tests did not differ significantly between groups of cases classified according to the likelihood that psychosomatic factors were operative.
