“…The term compensation neurosis has a long history dating back to the late 1800s (Weighill, 1983). In its current usage, the term refers to a psychiatric condition that is expressed in the context of compensation systems and is characterized by the exaggeration of symptoms, assumed to be driven by internal motives and the anticipation of secondary (i.e., financial) gain (Hall & Hall, 2012).…”

“…In its current usage, the term refers to a psychiatric condition that is expressed in the context of compensation systems and is characterized by the exaggeration of symptoms, assumed to be driven by internal motives and the anticipation of secondary (i.e., financial) gain (Hall & Hall, 2012). Justice-related concepts such as entitlement, blame, and retribution are central to both the presumed causes and the phenomenology of compensation neurosis (Hall & Hall, 2012;Weighill, 1983). At present, the relation between perceived injustice and diagnoses of compensation neurosis has not been empirically examined, and as such, any apparent overlap between these constructs must be viewed with appropriate caution.…”

“…This may also be associated with the compensation process [26], secondary gain from financial benefits (benefits of assuming a sick role) [27], or the adversarial nature of litigation [28]. A recent meta-analysis of 129 studies in surgical populations that found a substantially greater risk of an unsatisfactory outcome (functional, quality of life, pain and patient satisfaction) after surgery in compensated patients (odds ratio [95% CI] = 3.79 [3.28 to 4.37]) provides indirect evidence for this hypothesis [29].…”

et al. 2012

ObjectivesTo systematically summarize the randomized trial evidence regarding the relative effectiveness of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) in patients with depression in receipt of disability benefits in comparison to those not receiving disability benefits.Data SourcesAll relevant RCTs from a database of randomized controlled and comparative studies examining the effects of psychotherapy for adult depression (http://www.evidencebasedpsychotherapies.org), electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, PSYCINFO, AMED, CINAHL and CENTRAL) to June 2011, and bibliographies of all relevant articles.Study Eligibility Criteria, Participants and InterventionAdult patients with major depression, randomly assigned to CBT versus minimal/no treatment or care-as-usual.Study Appraisal and Synthesis MethodsThree teams of reviewers, independently and in duplicate, completed title and abstract screening, full text review and data extraction. We performed an individual patient data meta-analysis to summarize data.ResultsOf 92 eligible trials, 70 provided author contact information; of these 56 (80%) were successfully contacted to establish if they captured receipt of benefits as a baseline characteristic; 8 recorded benefit status, and 3 enrolled some patients in receipt of benefits, of which 2 provided individual patient data. Including both patients receiving and not receiving disability benefits, 2 trials (227 patients) suggested a possible reduction in depression with CBT, as measured by the Beck Depression Inventory, mean difference [MD] (95% confidence interval [CI]) = −2.61 (−5.28, 0.07), p = 0.06; minimally important difference of 5. The effect appeared larger, though not significantly, in those in receipt of benefits (34 patients) versus not receiving benefits (193 patients); MD (95% CI) = −4.46 (−12.21, 3.30), p = 0.26.ConclusionsOur data does not support the hypothesis that CBT has smaller effects in depressed patients receiving disability benefits versus other patients. Given that the confidence interval is wide, a decreased effect is still possible, though if the difference exists, it is likely to be small.

“…Sicherlich ist dieses Ergebni~aufgrund der insgesamt kleinen Probandenzahl (101) am methodischen Gründen nicht zu verallgemeinern, da es sich bei meiner Untersuchung um eine exploratorische Studie irr Sinne einer Beobachtungsstudie handelte. Daher scheint (~s erforderlich, daß in Zukunft bessere Kenntnisse über die langen Verläufe erlangt werden (Weighill 1983). Besonders erwähnenswert scheint mir, daß bei meiner U ntersuchung zwischen dem Kriterium "Rente" und dem Kriterium "gebesserter oder verschlechterter bzw.…”

The problems of the muddy concept of "compensation neurosis" are demonstrated under different aspects. The following fields are discussed: terminological questions, clinical picture including psychodynamic reflections and approaches as to the course, the legal bases in the Federal Republic of Germany, in particular for the legal annuity insurance and accident insurance, and the expert's problems when giving his opinion. It is suggested no longer to use the vague and inexact formulation "compensation neurosis", but a detailed description of the symptom complex and the personality as well as the outer and inner situation should be strived after. Tasks of research are mentioned that still require to be tackled.
