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.
