This work deals with the thoughts on the nature and origin of disorders of masticatory muscles and temporor joint. The authors incline to opinion of their psychosomatic origin. In connection with this point of view the methods of investigations were added by the psychosomatic approach (Eysenk, Spilberger-Hanin, Lichko, Vassermann): so the methods of direct and indirect psychotherapy (behavior therapy and placebo), the same as psychopharmaco-therapy were included in complex rehabilitation. As behaviour therapy method the computer videoautotraining with biological adaptive reverse connection was used. 185 patients (61 men and 124 women) in age of 16-70 (mean age: 34,9+/-1,3 years old) were investigated. Complete recovery or significant improvement of health took place in 97% of patients, insufficient effect - 3% of investigative patients.
