Abstract：
INTRODUCTION:Freud introduced two concepts of illness gain-one was a more external conscious adaptive form of gain, called secondary gain, and the other was a more internal unconscious destructive form of gain, called the need to be ill. Both forms of illness gain are interdependent and secondary gain can generate a need to be ill. METHOD:Empirical research was used to examine the question of how and why some disorders, such as post-traumatic stress disorder, repetitive strain injury, and whiplash injury, are liable to generate illness gain in affected individuals. RESULTS:This article describes how and why these disorders are becoming more common. CONCLUSIONS:It is important for the therapist to know the background of these disorders in order to be able to combat the associated secondary gain.
