Abstract:
Correlations were obtained between scores on the P.G.I. Yoga Attitude Scale and improvement in a group of 20 psychoneurotic patients undertaking yoga therapy of 4-6 weeks duration. A significant positive correlation was found between the improvement in social and vocational disability and scores on the P.G.I Yoga Attitude Scale at intake. However, during treatment and followup, there was a significant change in the attitude towards yoga - it became more positive. Correlations were also performed between improvement and change in attitude over the 5-month study period. Significant positive correlation was seen only on personal distress. Improvement in the other symptoms of neurosis i.e. anxiety, depression, musculo-cutaneous features, vegetative symptoms of neurosis i.e. anxiety, depression, musculo-cutaneous features, vegetative symptoms and the other neurotic features i.e. hysteria, hypochondriasis, obsessions-compulsions and phobia did not show any relationship with the patient's attitude towards yoga.
