Separation Experiences and Health Records in a Group of Normal Adults

JOHN B. IMBODEN M.D.1, ARTHUR CANTER Ph.D.1, and LEIGHTON CLUFF M.D.1

1 Henry Phipps Psychiatric Clinic Johns Hopkins Hospital.Baltimore 5, Md.

About 25% of 455 ostensibly normal subjects reported a recent "separation experience" as defined in this study. The frequency of visits to the dispensary for symptomatic complaints was not significantly higher among those who reported separation than among those who did not. The data suggest that an apparent association between relatively high Cornell Medical Index score and history of separation experience may be understandable in terms of the subjects' reporting characteristics rather than in terms of a cause-effect relationship between separation experience and illness.
