The desirability of predictive designs in psychosomatic research is widely recognized. The problems of finding nondiseased individuals for study and follow-up, however, have made it difficult to test hypotheses about possible physiological or psychological antecedents of illness. An educational boarding school in Israel provided an ideal setting for these authors to conduct a research study on transient amenorrhea, in which they could test hypotheses and make predictions on the occurrence of this psychosomatic phenomenon.
