SYCHOSOMATIC SYNDROME

Abstract

An emergency psychodrama became necessary when a patient developed a series of psychosomatic symptoms under stress of her conflict. This patient was torn between going on a vacation with her boy friend to Canada or leaving by herself for California without notifying him, in retaliation for what she thought was his lack of interest. Five hours before flight time she became very dizzy, her head pounded, her stomach was tied up in knots, her tongue was thick, and she found thinking difficult.
