[Rheumatoid arthritis: various psychosomatic aspects].
The rheumatoid arthritis has been considered as a model for the psychosomatic approach in Medicine. The authors present a research in this perspective, trying to evaluate some psychological variables using appropriated rating scales: the self concept, the coping mechanisms and some symptoms like anxiety and depression. A group of diabetics insulin-dependents was the control group.
