[edit] Psychosomatic cf. Psychogenic

If anyone knows the difference between a psychosomatic illness and a psychogenic one, that would be a useful bit of information to throw into the article.

-I agree completely with the above anonymous comment. It looks like only the authors of the obscure book cited at the end have used this term. I propose the article for deletion. Crusio 13:51, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Psychogenic needs to remain, as it is a long established medical term, and removal creates ten pages of dead Wiki links, or 192 uses in other articles at this time. I believe the reference to the obscure book cited at the end, added by an anonymous user, needs to be removed, as it confuses the definition, which has long been in use and only refers to a specialized use of the term. I will go ahead and do that if no one objects. Ralphyde 01:53, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

I can live with the article as it stands now. It might still be usefull as suggested by the anonymous comment at the top of this page to clarif the difference (if any) between psychogenic and psychosomatic. Crusio 06:28, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
