We attempted to investigate the hypothesis that object loss, if poorly resolved, may be a possible determinant in the development of somatic illness.4 Two groups of student nurses were studied to determine whether frequency of illness during the freshman year could be predicted from the degree of adjustment six weeks after separation from home. Girls who had adjusted poorly at the 6-week mark were ill most often during the rest of the school year. Illness seemed most frequent where the level of depressive affects was highest.
