A SPECIFIC TREATMENT FOR NEUROVEGETATIVE DYSTONIA
Abstract
1. One can conclude from such a study that great care in interviewing individuals should be taken. Individuals from unstable backgrounds, i.e., alcoholic families, split families, religious conflicts, or orphans, should be interviewed with care. There is a tendency for these individuals to overcompensate for their poor start in life. By careful screening acute military reactions can be avoided.
2. Combined reactions are mainly a manifestation of the instinct of self-preservation. Individuals who have to struggle from the beginning have a greater drive for self-preservation as an overcompensating mechanism.
3. Functional or psychosomatic ills probably occur as an accumulation of all the stresses and strains in the patient's past history. In the treatment of our patients, Bellergal has proved to be an excellent adjunct in psychotherapy. The symptoms referable to all the organs of the body can be greatly alleviated by the judicious use of this therapeutic agent. By reducing the acute symptoms, the patient is not as aware of his bodily functions and is in a better frame of mind to respond to psychotherapy.
