Popis: This investigation was concerned with the personality characteristics of a sample of patients with spinal cord lesions. One group of paraplegic patients was compared wth a group of quadriplegic patients. The paraplegics manifested certain characteristics indicating childlike immediate needs for gratification, together with difficulties in interpersonal relationships. The quadriplegic appears to be more absorbed with his disability, and evidences a great deal of concern about the human body. It appears worth while, therefore, in reporting on patients with spinal cord lesions, that distinction be made between the various neurological disabilities.
