| pubmed-article:3811637 | pubmed:abstractText | Two groups of twenty-two patients each, one group suffering from morbus Crohn and the other from colitis ulcerosa, both groups receiving treatment in a medical institution, were compared on the basis of social data, standardized psychological testing techniques, experimental psychologic examinations, and data concerning their disorders. Generally there were hardly any differences between the patients in either group. Merely the results obtained in the experimental procedure differed slightly in that a more pronounced cognitive suppression of affects occurred with the colitis group. Furthermore, a stronger affinity to taking advantage of an offer for psychotherapeutic treatment could be observed in this group. | lld:pubmed |
