Abstract
This abstract reports a factual study of 48 neurotics aged 20 to 59 years. All were mental hospital patients, whose attitude to admission and life difficulties were explored by means of a questionnaire. Assuming that illness and personality are independent variables (Foulds, G. A., 1955, 1958, 1959) and that they can be related meaningfully to the attitudes studied the relationships of these attitudes to personality, illness, sex and social class were investigated.Keywords
