In this article the syndrome of neuro-algodystrophy is discussed from a psychiatric point of view. First, a review is given of the scarce psychological literature on this subject. Secondly, a retrospective study of 32 neuro-algodystrophy patients, seen in a psychiatric consultation practice, is presented; in nearly all cases of this highly selected group, an obvious time-relation with a significant psychological factor could be determined, and in more than 60%, some kind of affective loss was concerned. Thirdly, some theoretical speculations about these findings are formulated. Finally, it is concluded that the diagnostic and therapeutic contribution of the psychiatrist may be valuable, at least in some cases of neuro-algodystrophy.
本文从精神病学角度探讨了神经痛性营养不良综合征。首先，对该主题稀少的心理学文献进行了综述。其次，呈现了一项对32例在精神科会诊中见到的神经痛性营养不良患者的回顾性研究；在这个高度精选的群体的几乎所有病例中，都能确定与一个重要心理因素存在明显的时间关系，并且超过60%的病例涉及某种情感丧失。第三，对这些发现进行了一些理论推测。最后得出结论，精神科医生的诊断和治疗贡献可能是有价值的，至少在某些神经痛性营养不良病例中如此。
