    Author: Laederach K.
    Journal: Schweiz Rundsch Med Prax; 1993 Oct 26; 82(43):1188-94. PubMed ID: 8259468.
    Abstract:
    In daily medicine we often see patients complaining about thoracic pain. There is little doubt about the etiology in the most cases, but several patients continue posing diagnostic problems. There are different pathophysiological views to understand the situation of those patients, and it is important to determine their mental and psychological conditions. For this purpose, the focus on transference and countertransference phenomena has to be stressed. With these elements it will be possible to determine the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to those patients to reassure them and to justify investigations.
