59 veterans requesting treatment at the Denver V.A. Mental Hygiene Clinic and 57 eligible veterans never requesting such treatment were given a symptom inventory in order to discern possible distinguishing symptom patterns between the groups. Four hypotheses were tested; one confirmed. The results indicated that “comers” claimed over-all greater symptomatology, especially in the areas of sensitivity and suspiciousness, “troublesome psychopathy” or impulse control, and nervousness and anxiety. There were no significant differences between the groups in claimed psychological or claimed physical symptoms. Years of education was unrelated to incidence of claimed psychological symptomatology
