[Psychosomatic and somatopsychic aspects of progressive chronic polyarthritis (author's transl)]. 1978

W Pieringer

By means of psychiatric depth-psychological investigations in more than 100 patients with PCP the somatopsychic aspect of the disease is described, which manifests itself in two thirds of the patients as an inhibited to agitated humble-depressive psychosyndrome. On the basis of family anamneses and analytical inquiries the somatopsychic aspects of the disease is described in more the half of the patients as consistent continuation of a specific way of life, so that psychosomatic and somatopsychic aspects of the disease are mentioned as one strategy persuing the same fictitious goal. Both aspects appear as functions of a seemingly threatened psychic-physical motivity.
