Some Observations on the Relation of Psychotic States to Psychosomatic Disorders

HERBERT G. PANETH M.D.1

1 V Akademia--u 7. IV 2. Budapest, Hungary

Three cases are presented in which a psychosomatic disease was transformed into a psychosis. In each case there appeared to be a similarity between the unconscious impulse and fantasy behind the somatic disease and the overt content of the psychotic delusions. The transformation appeared to be the result of psychogenic factors. In 2 cases ulcer symptoms gave way to delusions of being poisoned. In the last case remission of the symptoms of colitis was followed by hypochondriacal delusions involving the intestines and subsequently by a paranoid psychosis.
