[The influence of occupational stressors on the outbreak of psychic crises: a clinical study (author's transl)].

The etiological relevance of occupational stressors has been estimated among 87 patients of a Crises-Intervention-Ward. This relevance was distinct in 23% of the patients and was predominant in further 7%--mostly in patients having attempted suicide. The relations of this finding to age, sex, diagnosis and occupational status have been tested. Among 22 single occupational stressors the following were the most frequent: low income, debts; unemployment; monotonous, boring work; non-attainment of the aspired qualification; massive pressure of a superior; too much responsibility.
