"It was in relationship to melanoma that the notion of a type "c" personality was first proposed, a combination of character traits more likely to be found in those who develop cancer than in people who remain free of it.....Type "c" personalities have been described as 'extremely co-operative, patient, passive, lacking assertiveness and accepting...the type "c" individual, in our view, suppresses or represses 'negative' emotions, particularly anger, while struggling to maintain a strong and happy facade."
