ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHIC AND PERSONALITY CORRELATES IN PEPTIC ULCER

Abstract

One hundred male cases of proven peptic ulcer have been studied from the point of view of electroencephalographic and personality data. The findings would seem to indicate the value of this type of study for the better understanding and evaluation of the underlying personality structure and the psychic factors in patients with this disease. Some further implications of this study have been suggested for the investigation of diseases with a large psychic component.
