“…Some studies have shown psychological as pects of CAD patients [10][11][12], From a psy choanalytic perspective, some of them as sume that CAD is a 'narcissistic psychosomat ic disorder' [11], Because it is difficult to quantify narcissistic personality, psychoana lytic methodology was often used in early psy chiatric clinical research [10]. In the present study, type A behavior was closely related to narcissistic personality.…”

The authors examined (1) strength of stress, (2) awareness of stress, and (3) influence of type A behavior and narcissistic personality on stress and its related factors in a sample of 500 middle-aged women. Compared to 400 middle-aged working men, the women scored lower on the type A and coping scales, suggesting the possibility that women with high scores on type A behavior cope better with stress. Moreover, type A behavior in women was related to narcissistic personality. The strength of stressors and stress coping in type A women are affected by the severity of narcissism.

“…Psychoanalytic studies of patients with CAD had been done before the concept of type A behavior was established [10], Recent reports have indicated that CAD patients with type A behavior may be narcissistic [11. 12], We performed a survey on three aspects (stress, type A behavior, and narcissistic per sonality) in middle-aged women.…”

“…For example, the prevalence of this behavior pattern in Londoners during the air raids of World War I1 could have fallen sharply because individual conflicts were obliterated by group conflictsa phenomenon acutely discerned and described decades ago by the Menningers (41). In our own study of 3,500 male corporate employees (between the ages of 39 and 59 years) in 1960-61 (60), approximately half of them exhibited Type A Behavior Pattern.…”

“…Many years later, however, a few psychiatrists did attempt to study patients with this disorder but they were handicapped by the fact that so very few patients with this disease consulted or were referred to them. Probably the Menningers (41) were the first psychiatrists to study patients with this disease. They emphasized the strongly aggressive tendencies sometimes observed in their subjects.…”

We have attempted to describe as briefly but as completely as possible those data dealing with the associational and possibly causal relationships of Type A Behavior Pattern with coronary heart disease. The epidemiological data indicate without question that a very strong association does exist between this behavior pattern and the prevalence a d incidence of coronary heart disease. The clinical and laboratory experimental data suggest that a causal relationship also exists between this behavior pattern and the pathogenesis of coronary heart disease if only because the healthy subject exhibiting the fully developed form of Type A Behavior Pattern usually displays the same biochemical derangements (e.g. hypercholesterolemia, hyperlipemia, hyperinsulinemia and excess discharge of norepinephrine) so frequently observed in patients with coronary heart disease. This review also emphasizes our recent finding that most Type A subjects appear to exhibit a low reserve of pituitary growth hormone.

Sehr interessante und differenzierte psychodynamische Hypothesen hinsichtlich ätiologisch relevanter Persönlich-keits-und Konfliktkonstellationen wurden zuerst von Menninger & Menninger [56] sowie von Arlow [3] vorgelegt.…”
