Of fifteen peptic ulcer patients, ten had undergone thorough psychoanalytic treatment ranging from about six hundred to a thousand hours over a period of three to five years, five times per week. All fifteen patients were neurotic and the ulcer and the neurosis were parts of the same disease. Study of these patients ten to twenty-two years later disclosed that the ten who were analyzed have remained well, have maintained their character change, and have had no recurrence of symptoms.
