The Pattern of Hostility in Affective Illness

IVY M. BLACKBURN M.A., Ph.D., Dip. Clin. Psychol.1

1 Honorary Principal Psychologist, M.R.C. Brain Metabolism Unit, Department of Pharmacology, University of Edinburgh, 1 George Square, Edinburgh, EH8 9JZ

Patients suffering from a bipolar or unipolar affective illness were tested on a measure of hostility to differentiate between unipolar and bipolar depression and to study the pattern of hostility in mania. Unipolar and bipolar depressives were shown to differ on extrapuntiveness while manics differed from both types of depressives in extrapunitiveness and intropunitiveness. The changes occurring with recovery were also studied in each group. The role of hostility in affective illness is discussed.
