Retinopathia centralis serosa - Magengeschwür der Augenheilkunde?

Abstract

Centralis serosa retinopathy is regarded in ophthalmology as a psychosomatic disease, although this assumption has not been satisfactorily proven so far. With the use of the Freiburg Personality Inventory (FIP, [4]), the questionnaire for the evaluation of psychosomatic pathological processes [10], and by recording the affliction undergone by stressful events in the patients' lives, the question as to whether a psychogenic contributory cause existed was examined with a control group study (n = 11), parallelised according to age and sex. The results proved significantly that there was a psychosomatic connection, specifically a tendency to somatisation in patients with centralis serosa retinopathy. However, it was not possible to compile a typical personality profile, although it was possible to describe some conspicuous personality features. As a conclusion, the consequences for a subsequent study are being discussed.

Psychosomatic aspects in patients with central serous chorioretinopathy

“…[11][12][13] This was also shown by the patients in our sample, who, however, were particularly spontaneous and flexible as well. These results may permit the hypothesis that these are personalities in whom openness and spontaneity on the one hand and insecurity on the other hand can give rise to inner conflicts.…”

“…11 Altogether, the problem remains that investigations of CSC with a prospective study design, such as our own study, only attain small case numbers because the ailment is so rare. [11][12][13] All the studies with larger samples between 50 and 350 patients were conducted as retrospective investigations, leading to considerable methodological difficulties in establishing modification sensitive psycho-ophthalmological parameters. 15-17 25 The significance of the psychosomatic aspects of CSC, in the light of the results of our own study and those reported in previous literature, remains inconsistent.…”

“…[5][6][7][8][9][10] In the 1970s, Werry and Arends 11 described a neurotic personality structure in patients with CSC which could not, however, be confirmed by later studies. 12 13 A further study associated CSC with type A behaviour. 10 Contradictory evidence has also been gathered regarding the number of life events before the onset of CSC.…”

“…In other studies, larger numbers of psychological and physical symptoms as well as lower social support were found in patients with CSC. 12 13 15 Altogether, investigations conducted until now on the subject of psychosomatic aspects of CSC have yielded inconsistent results.…”

Integration und Pluralität in der psychosozialen Forschung - eine sprachstatistische und bibliometrische Analyse der PPmP

“…Zur Beantwortung dieser Fragen wurde mit einer bibliometrischen Analyse der letzten beiden Jahrgänge der PPMP geprüft, a) in welchem Verhältnis die Fachdisziplinen in der PPMP repräsentiert sind, b) ob sich die Beiträge von Psychiatern, Psychosomatikern/Psychotherapeuten und Medizinpsychologen hinsichtlich der Zitiergewohnheiten, des Sprachstils (kognitives Prägnanzniveau) und der Leitfiguren (Repräsentanten spezifischer wissenschaftlicher Paradigmen oder Ansätze) unterscheiden, c) wie häufig die Autoren der PPmP im Jahrgang 2000 im ¹Science-Citation-Indexª (SCI) und ¹Social-Sciences-Citation-Indexª (SSCI) gelistete und impaktfaktornotierte (Impaktfaktor ³ 0,001) Zeitschriften rezipiert haben (Homogenität der [18], Brosig [19], Büsing [20], Dahlbender [21], Fenner [22], Franz [23], Frei [24], Fritzsche [25], Geiser [26], Gündel [27], Häfner [28], Häuser [29], Henningsen [30], Herpertz S. [31,32], Hessel [33], Huber [34], Jacubeit [35], Johann [36], Junkert-Tress [37], Jurkat [38] Aufschlussreich ist in diesem Zusammenhang auch die Betrachtung, welche einzelnen Artikel in der PPmP in den letzten 22 Jahren von der Fachwelt am häufigsten zitiert wurden (Tab. 7).…”
