Abstract
1. Prison psychoses have a common etiology in the sense that they are a reaction to a common environment. 2. Fifty cases of prison psychoses were studied after recovery with respect to the relation of the previous personality to the symptoms shown during the psychotic episode. Where suitable, the Humm-Wadsworth Temperament Scale was administered. 3. In 46 of the cases, a definite relationship could be found between the psychotic symptoms and the previous personality as shown by the previous history or the temperament scale or both. 4. The form of prison psychosis is dependent upon the previous personality and constitution.
