摘要
Synopsis One hundred and seventy five subjects admitted to hospital for neurotic conditions were assessed as to their personality types. Forty seven percent were judged as having personality traits consistent with the diagnosis of asthenic personality disorder. Thirteen of the 138 symptom, life history and psychologial test items examined were found to be associated with the asthenic traits. Condensation of these thirteen items by factor analysis showed that two features-anxiety proneness and inability to cope with stress-together defined the disorder. © 1978 Informa UK Ltd All rights reserved: reproduction in whole or part not permitted.
