Abstract
Recently D. S. Trouton and A. E. Maxwell (7) reported the results of a factorial analysis of 45 variables derived from an Item Sheet used at the Bethlem Royal and Maudsley Hospitals. Their sample consisted of 819 male hospitalized patients aged 16-59 having non-organic psychiatric disorders. The variables included the major symptoms and past history notations of psychotic and neurotic patients. Their analysis yielded six factors, the first two of which were identified as “psychoticism” and “neuroticism”. The authors conclude that their findings support the view that the varied symptom patterns of mental illness can be accounted for by these independent components.
