Extract

In two previous papers (Kay et al., 1969a and b) the results obtained from a material of 104 depressed in-patients were discussed. One hundred of these patients were given the Mauds- ley Personality Inventory (M.P.I.) (Eysenck, 1959) at follow-up (5–7 years after the index admission) with the aim of relating M.P.I. scores at follow-up with the symptomatology of the original illness.
