[Fear of environmental poisons--justified fear or psychiatric disorder?].
A typical anxiety of our time is the anxiety of environmental poisons. Although some of the fears may be reasonable, anxiety diseases and somatoform disorders are important differential diagnoses. The limited value of toxicological and immunological parameters is discussed in depth, and risk factors associated with the development of environmental phobia are presented. This establishes that the concept of "clinical ecology" lacks credible scientific foundation. It must be stressed, that "clinical ecology" may seriously hinder a proper psychosomatic diagnosis and its relevant therapy.

[Coping with the illness by patients with chronic polyarthritis. Forms of coping and therapeutic implications].
In rheumatoid arthritis, coping exerts a major influence on the feelings and the compliance of a patient. This signifies its great clinical relevance. This study presents data of 40 patients using a questionnaire for assessing their ways of coping. The main coping strategies proved to be the search for more information and ways to get cognitive control over the threat imposed by the disease. The individual strategies were not influenced by somatic parameters. Unexpectedly, the duration of disease was tightly correlated to a more intensive approach for gaining information. The results have a major influence on the way of treating patients with RA. They open up new therapeutical regimens for the patient/doctor relationship, including patient oriented seminars and various psychological therapies.
