title: [Psychotherapy in the treatment of a patient with chronic renal failure].
abstract: A renal female patient treated by hemodialysis and suffering from phobic neurosis-like reactions in a situation of dialysis received staged psychotherapy that included explanatory and rational talks, hypnosis, and autogenic training. The individual choice of the psychotherapeutic procedure was based on the clinical evaluation of the premorbid personality traits and characteristics of psychosomatic disorders. Special attention was focused on the concept of emotional and stressful psychotherapy which was introduced in all the procedures used. Emphasis is laid on the pathogenic role played by the emotion of fear as a specific feeling in renal patients. Improvement of the patient's status has been recorded.
