Abstract:

IntroductionSomatization disorder is frequently associated in epidemiologic trials with depressive, anxiety, other somatoform or substance related disorders, as well as with personality disorders. An examination of psychiatric comorbidity in patients diagnosed with somatization disorder is strongly advised due to the impact of these associated conditions over the prognosis and treatment.ObjectiveTo establish the incidence of psychiatric dual diagnosis in hospitalized patients with somatization disorder.MethodsA group of 37 patients, 22 female and 15 male, mean age 45.9, were evaluated using St

Abstract:

Abstract An evaluator's failure to recognize illness behavior and to adjust for its effect on symptom presentation can lead to erroneous conclusions regarding impairment or disability; here the authors review the associated phenomena of somatization, disorders that arise from it, and factors that contribute to somatization. Somatization is an individual's unconscious use of the body or bodily symptoms for psychological purposes or psychological gain.

Somatization disorder is the most severe and refractory of the somatoform disorders. In this article, we provide an overview of somatization disorder, reviewing both the experimental psychopathology and treatment outcome literatures.

We attempt to place the treatment within the context of contemporary cognitive behavioral therapy.

Abstract The AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, (AMA Guides), Fourth Edition, notes that individuals may consciously exaggerate the symptoms of a disorder in the clinical or impairment evaluation setting, an activity that is associated with the process of somatization.

The technique is used to examine whether somatic symptoms will cluster into a clinical syndrome resembling somatization disorder, as defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-III), if no a priori assumptions are made about the interrelationship of somatic symptoms or their clustering into clinical syndromes.

ABSTRACTSomatization disorder is a somatoform disorder that overlaps with a number of functional somatic syndromes and has high comorbidity with major depression and anxiety disorders. Proposals have been made for revising the category of somatoform disorders, for simplifying the criteria for somatization disorder, and for emphasizing the unitary nature of the functional somatic syndromes in future classifications. A review of the cognitive-affective neuroscience of somatization disorder and related conditions suggests that overlapping psychobiological mechanisms mediate depression, anxiety, a

Abstract:

Pain used to be a simple issue. It was caused by physical injury or disease and the sufferer had to rest and take opium. That was about two hundred years ago. A few scattered commentators from Jeremiah (Lamentations I:12-13) to Montaigne (1) had the idea that emotion could cause pain or influence it. The development of anatomical knowledge, closely followed by physiology and then pathology, produced a dilemma. There were many pains that could not be explained by the most modern physical methods of the nineteenth century. Hodgkiss (2) has tersely labelled the problem as "pain without lesion". T
