A significant correlation was found between the findings of the psychological testing and the results of group treatment. Patients who had been diagnosed by various tests as being neurotic responded much better to the combined treatment (as evaluated by weight-reduction and emotional improvement) than those patients which had been diagnosed as psychotics. |
