The results were as follows ； 1) Among the the 64 patients, the psychodynamics of 23 cases(35.9%) seem to be more influenced by the Korean modern historical events. 2) Among the variable demographic data, the patients influenced by historical events had the oppotunities of significantly higher educational levels than the ones not influenced. 3) In the patients who were influenced by historical events，there were more females than the ones not influenced, higher socioeconomic state and had more mood disorders. But the statistically significant difference was not observed. 4) As the psychosocial stress, early grandparent loss, unwilling marriage, occupation and socioeconomic problems had more significant influences on the patients influenced by historical events than the ones not influenced. 5) In the patients influenced by historical events, the diagnosis and psychocial stress facotrs were not significantly different among the three critical psychohistorical periods.
