[Psychoneuroses of paternity. Puerperal psychoneuroses in man].
Psychotic, neurotic and psychosomatic disturbances, directly promoted by fatherhood condition, seem more frequent than the small number of publications about this subject allow to suppose. Twenty original observations are expounded and discussed; they allow the importance of basic psychological ground; it is necessary to differentiate distinctly between initial paternity disturbances, among immature patients, inducing total disorder, and multiple paternity perturbations where anxiety and culpability feeling prevail. Regarding these disturbances and the sociological phenomenon of the "couvade", the real puerperality in men is investigated in connection with the personal and relational structure of the individual.
