title: [The sibling constellation in neurotic patients].
abstract: The authors compared the frequency of the positions among siblings in the neurotic and the control group. The investigation was performed on 582 persons, 435 of them had undergone treatment in the psychotherapeutic department for neuroses. The rest of them, the control group, had never been treated for neurosis. It does not seem that the position of the oldest, the youngest and the only child leads to neurotic disorders. The most risky position is evident by the middle sister. However, validity of these findings is limited by methodological reasons.
