Samenvatting
In dit artikel wordt de relatie tussen lawaai, gedefinieerd als ongewenst geluid, en psychopathologie beschouwd. Er wordt uitgegaan van gevallen uit de klinische praktijk, waarbij lawaai een factor was die (mede) aanleiding gaf tot behandeling. In dit verband komen aan de orde: (1) de angst voor lawaai, in het kader van een fobie, posttraumatische stressstoornis of dwangneurose; (2) lawaai en bovenmatige ergernis; (3) lawaai en depressieve verschijnselen en de overgevoeligheid voor geluid bij depressie; (4) de overgevoeligheid voor geluid bij overspannenheid en bij hoofdpijn. Bij de behandeling kan gebruik worden gemaakt van exposureprocedures (bij angststoornissen), ontspanningstraining, en cognitief-gedragstherapeutische technieken.

Abstract
Noise and psychopathology. The relationship between noise, defined as unwanted sound, and psychopathology is studied on the basis of a number of clinical cases where noise was (one of) the factors that determined the quest for help. The following items are discussed: (1) noise phobia in the context of a panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, or an obsessive-compulsive disorder; (2) noise and extreme annoyance; (3) noise and depressive phenomena and the hypersensitiveness to noise with depression; (4) the hypersensitiveness to noise with nervous breakdown and with headache. The treatment may consist of exposure procedures (in case of anxiety disorders), relaxation training and cognitive-behavioural restructuring techniques.
