Abstract
This paper reports the results of a psychiatric study of the families and husbands of patients with hysteria. In a series of previous publications designed to clarify the diagnosis of hysteria, it was shown that certain clinical criteria will define a group of patients with a highly uniform clinical course and prognosis (3, 4, 5, 9). It was also suggested that the same clinical picture is seen among first-degree female relatives more frequently than among the general female population, and that alcoholism and sociopathy are seen more frequently among first-degree male relatives than among the general male population (1). We decided to extend the investigation to more cases, and to study the husbands of the index cases as well.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
