title: [Manifestation of psychiatric disorders caused by stress factors of the historical transition in former East Germany].
abstract: We analysed the case histories of 149 patients who had been given hospital treatment for psychic disorders. Among them we found nine patients (6%) with stress factors caused by the radical historical upheavals in the former GDR, which had played a main role in the pathogenesis of the psychic disorders. In these cases it was above all stress factors which indirectly affected the child through the family situation.
