Extract

This paper is a continuation of a previous study (Monro, 1962), on the Self-Referent Attitudes of Neurotic and Inadequate Personalities. It deals with the social attitudes of the same population of 150 patients. The techniques used derive from Professor Drever (1949) of the Department of Psychology, University of Edinburgh, from Cattell (1946) and from Eysenck (1944, 1947). The orientation towards social factors is in accord with one of the main traditions of psychology, exemplified by Adler (1927), H. S. Sullivan (1953), and Murphy (1947), to mention only a few outstanding exponents.
