Abstract

Using the diagnostic criteria found in the literature, 15 new cases of Ganser syndrome were examined. A relationship was found between specific premorbid personality traits and severity of the syndrome; a high percentage of the sample belonged to an ethnic minority and was suspected of having symptoms of premorbid neurological pathology.
