Abstract

The author first refers to the previous absence of a comparative psychiatry of sexual differences. He then describes in particular epidemiological and clinical experience relevant to the predisposition of women to psychic disorders and their treatment. The beginnings of an explanation of such findings are discussed and then taken up in the theses expressed in conclusion. Above all it is emphasized that women's increased proneness to such disorders is not to be explained by their constitution or hereditary pathology, but is presumably attributable to a different upbringing of the sexes and specific conflicts of women's roles.
