title: [Vegetative psychological syndrome].
abstract: The common psychoautomatic syndrome nowadays represents the most frequently encountered disease. Since more than 20 years I use a scale of seven for all single psychic and somatic autonomic symptoms. I have termed 'autonomic psychosyndrome' the characteristic psychopathology associated with autonomic dysfunctions. This entity is the most common psychosyndrome. Its autonomic manifestations are linked to the actually prevailing 'Zeitgeist', devoid of eternity, immortality, God as well as divine foresight and reason. I perceive the cause of autonomic dysfunction as lack of faith and trust. The gift to believe, to trust adequately, is disturbed. Causal therapy consists in healing of this faithlessness and inability to trust.
