Abstract
SynopsisThirty married agoraphobic women referred to out-patient clinics in Edinburgh were compared with ‘normal’ controls (selected from GP records and screened for the absence of psychiatric symptoms) matched on age, sex, social class and marital status. The agoraphobics' husbands were similarly compared with the husbands of the controls. On most measures of attitudes, behaviour, domestic organization and marital interaction, the 2 groups were strikingly similar.Keywords
