It has been our observation that a good number of patients afflicted with psychosomatic disorders have unconscious aggression which is deeply rooted in frustration and anxiety. These patients seem to have a tendency to somatize their aggression because of their poor capacity to recognize it. In psychosomatic treatment, therefore, it is essential to make them aware of the origin of it. We have often experienced, however, that it is difficult to enable the patients to ventilate their aggression to induce a desirable change in their habitual repression of aggression. We thus think it is indispensable for them to learn a new way of dealing with their conscious aggression in more realistic and constructive manner. In this connection, the adequate combination of psychodynamically-oriented psychotherapy and some new therapeutic techniques based on the behavior theory, such as the implosive-expressive technique postulated by Dr. Serber of Temple University, should be considered in our daily practice. In this paper, the authors presented 4 case reports of psychosomatic disorders in which aggression had played an important role and to which the above-mentioned combined technique was applied.
