    Abstract:
    180 students without pathological psychic findings, 233 students with psychic disturbances, 168 internal patients with vegetative disturbances and 231 patients with progressive chronic polyarthritis were interrogated with the VELA-questionnaire of Fahrenberg and the ENR-questionnaire according to Brengelmann and Brengelmann. Compared with the normal group all other groups had significantly higher VELA-values. The combination E less than 10, N greater then 26 was found in students without pathological psychic findings in 2.8%, in patients with rheumatism in 7.4%, in internal patients in 21.4% and in students with psychic disturbances in 24.1%. With this combination and another one with extreme values 5.1% of the comparative group, 9.6% of the patients with somatic diseases and approximately 61.4% of the patients with a high number of vegetative complaints are suspicious of a psychic disturbance which must be treated.
