[Psychosomatic aspects in otorhinolaryngology exemplified by the "globus" sensation].
The term "psychosomatic" is defined by means of the "globe" sign in its clinical use. Psychosomatic anamnesis is introduced as a mode to establish the somatic and psychic status. In this diagnostic therapeutic process the psychosomatically oriented ENT specialist assesses the pattern of these frequent psychophysical disturbances. The therapy of psychosomatic disorders is based on the multiplex aetiology of these diseases; therefore, psychosocial factors of distress must be considered with the same attention as the somatic signs and symptoms. To meet this challenge the specialist has to consider the therapeutic dialogue, psychodynamics and distress coping, effective relaxation techniques and the use of psychotropic drugs.
