Psychodynamic and social development of neurotic patients applying for disability compensation: a catamnestic study
Abstract:
Neurotic illnesses in which the desire for compensation or pensioning complicates the picture must not always take an unfavorable course. Prognostic criteria allowing definitive projections for individual cases are not available. The award or denial of compensation--in a group comparison--has no influence on the neurotic symptomatology. There are no differences in the psychodynamic and social histories of those subjects who apply for a pension because of the inability to work and those who claim compensation following an external trauma. In one-fourth of the subjects who were examined in connection with accidental or war injury, conspicuous personality characteristics could be demonstrated for the time preceding the incident. Satisfactory therapeutic possibilities for the group of neurotic applicants for disability compensation or pensions are not yet available.
