The Psychiatric Syndrome and Its Relation to Environment A Statistical Study of 76 Patients Hospitalized in Adults Wards at Psychiatric Institute, New York City, During the Year 1945, in Order to Ascertain the Relation of the Psychiatric Syndrome to Certain Factors of Background
Abstract
Background of the Study. Under the impulse of Freud, many psychiatrists have made a study of the fundamentals of human personality and have evolved a system of recognition of the relationship between adult personality and childhood experiences. Freud concentrated his search in the area of psycho-sexual development. Adler felt that organic factors are important. Jung felt that man's religious impulse is his motivating factor. However, no single event or experience is considered as solely conducive to mental illness. There is a subtle combination of many factors.
