abstract="To evaluate the frequently attributed psychogenic origin of symptoms following &quot;whiplash&quot; injury, 66 patients who had suffered such an injury underwent clinical and psychometric examination. Data were collected on subjective symptoms and their possible psychogenic origin and psychopathology. Personality profile, subjective well-being and cognitive impairment were evaluated. The amount of long-lasting psychopathological alterations was comparatively small. The results do not support the notion of a psychogenic origin for symptoms after &quot;whiplash&quot; injury; personality traits and psychopathology do not explain the nature of the complaints.<p /><p>Language: de</p>",
