title: [Psychoanalytic concepts of pain. Historical development, current status and empirical evidence].
abstract: In the last decade the boom in behavioural therapy studies of pain has relegated psychoanalytical publications on this topic quantitatively to the background. The present paper reviews the historical development and current state of the psychoanalytical understanding of pain. The results of those studies are summarized, which provide empirical support for the components of psychoanalytic pain theory. From these results a pathogenetic model for the psychogenic pain syndrome is developed.
