[Usefulness of the M.H.Q. (Middlesex Hospital Questionnaire) in the diagnosis of psychoneuroses].

The M.H.Q. test was carried out on 97 pneumopathic subjects and the data obtained are compared with those deriving from clinical conversation and the Rorschach, Koch, T.A.T., Machover and family drawing tests. The results obtained with the latter tests made it possible to divide subjects up into two large groups: 48 normal cases and 49 psychoneurotic cases. Perfect agreement was found between this judgment and that based on the M.H.Q. test; the test is therefore considered a useful means for the diagnosis of hospitalized psychoneurotics.
