Abstract

Psychogenic diseases play an important rôle in childhood; they are at this period of life much more frequent and their nature is more easily demonstrated than in the adult; they are to a high degree subject to the influence of suggestion therapy and therefore possessed of a paramount importance in the practice of the pediatrician. The necessity of the recognition and appropriate valuation of the psychic elements in the complex of clinical syndromes cannot be emphasized enough.
