Abstract

From data obtained with the cooperation of the New Jersey State Hospital, it appears that syphilitic and alcoholic psychoses are not factors in the higher incidence of insanity among the unmarried than among the married. In the widowed group, at least part of the greater incidence of insanity is due to their advanced age. Similar evidence was not found to explain the higher frequency of insanity among the single or the divorced. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
