Abstract

A brief review of the literature regarding idiopathic ulcerative colitis in both children and adults is presented. The results of our study of 17 children suffering from ulcerative colitis are given, including social, psychological, and psychiatric data. These findings are then discussed and conclusions regarding the work of other investigators and certain psychological formulations are drawn. A speculative hypothesis concerning the etiology of this disease is offered, and some therapeutic principles are suggested.
