This is a study that attempts to evaluate Fenichel's theories of N.C.A. as an organ neurosis derived from 'aggression dependency drives' and an identification with a cardiac sufferer in the patient's environment. Fenichel's theories are believed to be confirmed by studies of two groups (one group of N.C.A. patients, the other of asthmatic patients), using various physiological and psychological measurements.
