Abstract
Although abnormalities in physique in mental patients have been reported many times (see review by Rees, 1960) their cause and significance are obscure. Rey and Coppen (1959) reported the results of an investigation into the physique of mental patients using a measure of sexual maturation known as the androgyny score (Tanner, 1951, 1962).This publication has 22 references indexed in Scilit:
