“…In addition to demonstrating an association between attachment disruptions and the onset or exacerbation of disease, Engel (1955,1958) observed, as did several other psychoanalysts (Jessner et al, 1955;Mushatt, 1975Mushatt, , 1989Sperling, 1978), that many physically ill patients (children as well as adults) manifest developmental arrests and remain excessively dependent on symbiotic relationships (with a parent, spouse, or friend) to compensate for certain ego deficits.…”

Psychosomatic medicine is the branch of medicine that is concerned primarily with the interrelationships among biological, psychological, and social factors in health, illness, and disease. Psychoanalysis and psychology have both contributed extensively to the exploration of these relations, in particular through their attempts to identify personality variables that protect against, or contribute to the predisposition to, initiation of, and maintenance of disease; and devise and evaluate psychological treatments for physically ill patients.

“…Images and aspects of other persons become part of a continuing exchange, taking in and projecting outward. The body participates, serving as a vehicle to symbolize persons or parts of them (Dutsch, 1959;Mushatt, 1973). These efforts lead to the forms of splitting so important, as Pinderhughes has remarked (1969), in social partisanship and racial discrimination.…”

The recent developments in biofeedback give us hints-as have yogi teachings for years-about the extent to which visceral activity can be brought under psychic regulation.…”

In this article the syndrome of neuro-algodystrophy is discussed from a psychiatric point of view. First, a review is given of the scarce psychological literature on this subject. Secondly, a retrospective study of 32 neuro-algodystrophy patients, seen in a psychiatric consultation practice, is presented; in nearly all cases of this highly selected group, an obvious time-relation with a significant psychological factor could be determined, and in more than 60%, some kind of affective loss was concerned. Thirdly, some theoretical speculations about these findings are formulated. Finally, it is concluded that the diagnostic and therapeutic contribution of the psychiatrist may be valuable, at least in some cases of neuro-algodystrophy.
