Aggressiveness in comparison groups studied with the use of I-Structural Test of Ammon (Ich-Struktur Testnach Ammon, ISTA). The decreased values of constructive aggression were shown to distinguish patients with depression and history of miscarriage from mentally healthy women with successfully fulfilled reproductive function.
