Studies in Experimental Psychiatry: III.—p-Score and Inhibition for High-p Præcox Cases

Abstract

In the previous contribution to this series of studies∗ we reported the scores obtained by women patients in a mental hospital when submitted to certain p-tests. Facts emerged of the kind that, relative to the scores obtained by normal non-psychotic women, maniacs obtained low p-scores, melancholic and depressive and dementing psychotics high p-scores, and that certain præcox patients obtained extremely high-p scores indeed.
