This sequel to the preceding paper presents a more detailed evaluation of the fourteen husbands. While they varied considerably in overt psychopathology and ego strength, these men had the following in common: 1. An unusual capacity to endure external and intrapsychic stresses. Most of them had 'come up the

hard way' and each of them in the course of his marriage was obliged to endure the abuse, criticism, and complaining of his wife, while being forced to work extremely hard to pay for her impulsive activities and medical care. 2. Contrary to their wives' assertions, they manifested warmth and responsibility in their interpersonal relations. 3. They revealed a marked capacity to mature. 4. They not only responded favorably to psychotherapy but this response was essential for successful psychotherapy with the wives.
