Relationship Between Bender Gestalt Test Scores and Medical Success with Duodenal Ulcer Patients

WILLIAM W. LOTHROP M.A.1

1 Route 5, Rutledge Pike, Knoxville, Tenn.

The Bender-Gestalt test has been used with duodenal ulcer patients to determine its effectiveness as an index of the patient's response to medical therapy. The raw scores of a group of 9 patients who had successfully managed their symptoms over a period of years, and those of a group of 9 patients who were considered medically intractable and for whom surgery was foreseen, did not overlap. A significant difference was also found between those intractable patients who respond well to surgery and those who experience a recurrence of symptoms.
