Abstract
Twenty‐four mixed psychotic and neurotic depressive in‐patients were seen when first admitted, and again after six weeks when they had improved. Symptom‐Sign Inventory Measures changed significantly, and General Punitiveness and Intropunitiveness both dropped. The Hysteroid‐Obsessoid Questionnaire showed no change. A preliminary attempt to predict the likely degree of improvement of a patient is reported.
