Tucker studied one hundred patients with the syndrome of chronic and acute anxiety, somatic symptoms, and phobias. It occurs most frequently in young wives and mothers, is more frequent in married women than in single women, and in women than in men. One must be sure organic disease is not the cause, and phobic reaction must be distinguished from more chronic phobic obsessive states. Hyperventilation occurs frequently in association with anxiety attacks; this fact should be made clear to the patient. The syndrome occurs in a dependent personality subjected to stress in adjustment. Treatment should be strongly supportive and directive. Results of treatment are tabulated.
