Abstract

Patients with angiographically proven C.S.R. were investigated with the MMPI. They showed significantly higher scores on the hypochondria and hysteria-scale. The idea, that C.S.R. is an ocular psychosomatic disease is supported by the profile pattern, which shows an elevation of the "Neurotic Triad" with the characteristically depressed "Psychosomatic Valley".
