To fetch all these, physicians are trying to limit such conditions by applying various scientific theories and methods to explain the basic underlying mechanism of health and diseases. Understanding of physical conditions through psychological approach is the mainstream of such conditions and is termed as Somatoform disorders or psychosomatic illnesses as explained by World Health Organization in international Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems. Stress is the contributing factor that doesn't allow the individual to remain in harmony with the surroundings and threatens the body's ability to maintain homeostasis.

Fenômeno histérico ou psicossomático?: Re-lendo o homem dos lobos com Winnicott / Hysterical or psychossomatic phenomenom?: Re-reading the man of wolves with Winnicott

O objetivo é o de produzirmos uma reflexão teórica sobre os adoecimentos psicossomáticos que nos permita enfrentar seus impasses clínicos tomando como referências Freud e Winnicott. O estudo da angústia como afeto que funda as relações soma/psique nos levou ao estudo da Histeria de Angústia trabalhada, por Freud, no caso clínico do Homem dos Lobos, onde as afecções intestinais foram entendidas como um fenômeno histérico. Propomos sobrepor a essa hipótese que podemos entendê-las, também, como um adoecimento psicossomático como Winnicott o concebe: uma defesa psíquica diante de um movimento de des-integração das malhas psicossomáticas. Destaca-se que encontramos nos autores fundamentos teórico/clínicos para as afecções psicossomáticas.

The objective is to achieve a theoretical understanding of the psychosomatic illness by taking as references Freud and Winnicott. The study of anguish led us to study the Hysteria of Anguish worked in the case of the "Man of Wolves" in which intestinal disorders were taken as a hysterical phenomenon. We are proposing that we can also understand this disease as a psychosomatic illness as Winnicott designs it: as a psychic defense against a movement of de-integration of the psychosomatic nets. Our propose is to point out that we found in both fundaments to theoretical understanding and clinical conduction of psychosomatic disorders.
