The author reports five cases of psychogenic motor disturbances to demonstrate that not one but several of four possible forms of causative factors may be at work. They are: conscious motivation; irritation; conditioning and psychologic mechanisms. The author's approach follows Adolph Meyer's psycho-biologic concept. Analytical material is given briefly. In one case a cure is reported, in the others the result is not stated.
