The main psychological and possible psychopathological traits of the spa user are identified and classified in order to clarify motivational aspects. Two different self-assessment tests, the Middlesex Hospital Questionnaire (MHQ) and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) were given, the first to 500 subjects who had undergone spa treatment cycles lasting at least 10 days and the second to a control group of 50. MHQ data showed a significant incidence of certain neurotic traits, especially phobia, obsession and somatisation in the first group. Despite their different areas of competence and survey methods, both questionnaires produced results to support the hypothesis that a particular form of neurosis may play a significant part in motivating recourse to spa treatment.
为了阐明动机方面的问题，对温泉疗养者的主要心理及可能存在的精神病理学特征进行了识别和分类。进行了两项不同的自我评估测试，即米德尔塞克斯医院问卷（MHQ）和明尼苏达多相人格调查表（MMPI），第一项测试面向500名接受了至少10天温泉疗养周期的受试者，第二项测试面向50人的对照组。MHQ数据显示，第一组中某些神经症特征的发生率很高，尤其是恐惧症、强迫症和躯体化症状。尽管两份问卷的适用范围和调查方法不同，但两者的结果均支持以下假设：一种特定形式的神经症可能在促使人们寻求温泉疗养治疗方面发挥重要作用。
