[A case report on the phenomenology and psychodynamics of pain in acute myocardial infarct].
The experience of pain during an acute heart attack is analysed from a phenomenological perspective. It can be shown that the intensity of the pain challenges the myocardial infarction patient's ideal of autonomy and confronts him with dependencies-the dependency on one's body, the dependency on other people-that make him feel ashamed. Thus, emotions of anxiety and shame are often present during the process of coping with pain. The interactional relationships of the patient seem to play an important role in the development of these feelings.
