THE CLINICAL INVESTIGATION AND DIFFERENTIAL MEASUREMENT OF ANXIETY
Abstract
1. Four clinical methods for rapid psychiatric evaluation and measurement of anxiety have been presented.
2. These methods investigate the effects of anxiety upon visuo-motor control, self-concept, level of aspiration, and body-image.
3. Typical results and differential trends obtained through these short procedures in psychiatric syndromes, characterized etiologically or symptomatically by anxiety, have been presented.
We conclude that in view of the primary importance of anxiety as psychopathogenic factor psychiatrists and medical students should acquaint themselves with objective, experimental methods, which can be used in the course of a clinical interview for the differential measurement and analysis of anxiety.
