[Psychoanalytical nosography and digestive pathology (author's transl)].
The author states that aside from two major digestive psychosomatic conditions, peptic ulcer and ulcero-hemorragic colitis, one only encounters in the adult a widespread psychosomatic pathology, that is to say: 1 degree phenomena of hysterical conversion (gravidic vomiting for example); 2 degrees digestive phenomena concomitant with emotional reactions (diarrhea and anxiety, hypersecretion and anger, constipation and depression etc.); 3 degrees digestive manifestations accompanying anxiety neurosis; 4 degrees authentic functional diseases, such as the irritable colon corresponding to a well defined personality structure. The author concludes this article by some considerations of psychosomatic symptoms observed by the psychoanalyst; he specifically relates the role of the body barrier, the implication of reality and finally the very particular fantasies found in these psychosomatic patients.
