Résumé / Abstract

Psychologic factors have been considered to play an important role in the etiology of chronic prostatitis. Earlier studies are often based on a psychoanalytical perspective and seldomly used quantitative approaches. In the present study quantitative tests are used to investigate personality variables which are suggested in the literature as underlying chronic prostatitis. A group of 50 chronic prostatitis patients was compared with a group of 50 patients seen for a vasectomy. Psychologic measures were taken by means of a personality inventory (NVM, Dutch short form of the MMPI), a symptom checklist (SLC-90), and a depression inventory (IDD)
