Abstract
Anxiety neurotic and neurotic depressive twin probands (150) were differentiated into 3 groups by means of discriminant analysis, 50 in each group. The groups were named: pure anxiety neurosis, mixed anxiety-depression, and pure neurotic depression. Analysis of concordance rates indicated that only pure anxiety neurosis seemed to be influenced by hereditary factors.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
