Abstract:
Objective: The primary aim of this study was to investigate the hypothesis that somatoform dissociation would differentiate among specific diagnostic categories after controlling for general psychopathology. Method: The Somatoform Dissocation Questionnaire (SDQ-20), the Dissociative Experiences Scale, and the Symptom Checklist-90-R were completed by patients with DSM-IV diagnoses of dissociative disorders (n = 44), somatoform disorders (n = 47), eating disorders (n = 50), bipolar mood disorder (n = 23), and a group of consecutive psychiatric outpatients with other psychiatric disorders (n = 45), mainly including anxiety disorders, depression, and adjustment disorder. Results: The SDQ-20 significantly differentiated among diagnostic groups in the hypothesised order of increasing somatoform dissociation, both before and after statistically controlling for general psychopathology. Somatoform dissociation was extreme in dissociative identity disorder, high in dissociative disorder, not otherwise specified, and increased in somatoform disorders, as well as in a subgroup of patients with eating disorders. In contrast with somatoform dissociation, psychological dissociation did not discriminate between bipolar mood disorder and somato form disorders. Conclusions: Somatoform dissociation is a unique construct that discriminates among diagnostic categories. It is highly characteristic of dissociative disorder patients, a core feature in many patients with somatoform disorders, and an important symptom cluster in a subgroup of patients with eating disorders., dissociation

Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: The Somatoform Dissociation Questionnaire is a self-report questionnaire that has proven to be a reliable and valid instrument. The objectives of this study were to validate the Portuguese version and to determine its capability to distinguish patients with dissociative disorders from others with psychopathological disorders. METHOD: 234 patients answered the translated version of Somatoform Dissociation Questionnaire. The Portuguese Dissociative Disorders Interview Schedule was used to validate clinical diagnosis. Patients with dissociative disorder (n = 113) were compared to a control group of 121 patients with various anxiety and depression disorders. RESULTS: Reliability measured by Cronbach's a was 0.88. The best performance of the Portuguese form was at a cut-off point of 35, which distinguishes between dissociative disorder and neurotic disorders with a good diagnostic efficacy (sensitivity = 0.73). The somatoform dissociation was significantly more frequent in dissociative disorder patients, conversion disorder patients and post-traumatic stress disorder patients. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that dissociative disorders can be differentiated from other psychiatric disorders through somatoform dissociation. The Portuguese version of the Somatoform Dissociation Questionnaire has fine psychometric features that sustain its cross-cultural validity.

Abstract:
The paper by de Waal and colleagues (2004, this issue) reports on the prevalence of somatoform disorders in Dutch primary care. They found that at least one out of six patients seen by general practitioners could be regarded as having a somatoform disorder, almost all in the non-specific category of undifferentiated somatoform disorder. The prevalence of the condition has major implications for medical services but what does this diagnosis mean? Is receiving a diagnosis of somatoform disorder of any benefit to the patient? Does it help the doctor to provide treatment?

Abstract:
SummaryChildren of parents with a range of psychiatric disorders are at increased risk of developing psychological disturbance themselves. There is growing evidence that this includes children who have parents with a chronic somatoform disorder. The health beliefs of children with a parent with a somatoform disorder were compared with those of children with a parent with an organic physical disorder. Children of parents with somatoform disorder scored higher on bodily preoccupation and disease phobia scales and their health beliefs showed similarities to the beliefs of their parents.

Abstract:
Introduction: Somatoform disorders are characterized by physical symptoms that suggest a medical condition, and which are not fully explainable by general medical condition, or by the direct effects of a substance, or by another mental disorder.
 Objectives: to study the socio-demographic characteristics and psychosocial stressors in children and adolescents with somatoform disorders.
 Methods: From 1st January, 2018 to 30th June 2018, Children and adolescents from 3 to 18 years of age with unexplained physical st thsymptoms were evaluated using DSM – IV criteria. Detailed evaluation followed for those meeting inclusion criteria.
 Results: Among 65 patients (18, 27.69% boys and 47, 72.31% girls) meeting inclusion criteria, conversion disorder was the most common (37, 56.92%), followed by undifferentiated somatoform disorder (15, 23.08%). Girls were significantly more represented among conversion disorder patients compared to other groups of somatoform disorders (68.08% vs. 27.78%, X2 =8.63, p<0.01) Stressors 2 were identified in 95% and acute precipitating stressors were present in 75% patients. Both the boys and girls had significantly higher rates of academic problems. Boys found to have social and environmental problems while girls had problems in primary support group.
 Conclusion: Somatoform disorder, particularly conversion disorder is more common and it is found more in girls. Academic problems, poor interpersonal relations and conflict in the family are the important psychosocial stressors.

Thank you.<br>Body Dysmorphic Disorder, or BDD, is a prevalent disease that affects children, adolescence, and adults. Its onset is usually in late childhood/early adolescence, and the disorder frequently extends for the lifetime ofthe patient. The disorder has been in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual ofMental Disorders since its third edition as a somatoform disorder. The primary definition of BDD centers around the fact that those suffering from the disorder have a preoccupation with an imagined defect in their physical appearance that is usually not seen from an outsider's perspective. This preoccupation results in impairment in one's social life, education, and employment atmosphere. Through various research projects, it has been discovered that BDD shares many common similarities to other disorders, including obsessive-compulsive, social anxiety, and eating disorders. Like obsessive-compulsive disorder, those with BDD have several types of obsessions and compulsions, such as mirror checking for multiple hours a day to study their defect. This can further lead into the yearning desire to obtain cosmetic surgery. Patients with BDD often suffer from anxiety and depression, which can result in a low educational level, no employment, and trouble being in any sort of relationship. These symptoms tend to be more severe in those with the non-delusional form of BDD versus the delusional form. Research via functional Magnetic Resonance Imaginf and other imaging techniques has shown that those suffering from BDD may have different brain patterns than healthy subjects, especially concerning spatial frequency. Currently there are no FDA-approved medications specifically for the treatment ofBDD, but serotonin-reuptake inhibitors often used to treat depression have shown to be successful in alleviating BDD symptoms. Cognitive behavioral therapy, exposure and response prevention, and interpersonal psychotherapy, are also implemented as alternative treatment options to pharmacological therapy. The fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual ofMental Disorders is expected to be released in 2013 addressing the new information that has resulted from the great amount of research that has been conducted in the past decade and a half.

Abstract:
Somatoform disorder is a prevalent mental health disorder in the United States. This disorder costs the United States one billion dollars annually. Medical providers report somatoform disorder is difficult to treat. Previous studies have shown that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is effective at reducing symptoms of somatoform disorder. Unfortunately, little research has been done on treatment outcomes and cost of somatoform disorder, particularly by profession to reduce health care costs for somatoform patients and providers. Administrative data from CIGNA for 149 somatoform disorder cases were analyzed to determine the cost, number of sessions, dropout rates, and recidivism rates for somatoform disorder. These same variables for somatoform disorder were also analyzed by profession for medical doctors, psychologists, master's nurses, master's social workers, marriage and family therapists, and professional counselors. Descriptive statistics showed that the recidivism rates and number of sessions for somatoform disorder is higher than average. Drop-out rates were consistent with the average. Analyses revealed no significant difference in total cost by profession, but did indicate a significant difference in cost per session for medical doctors. Analyses indicate lower level (M.S.) providers have no significant difference in drop-out rates and recidivism rates compared to higher level (Ph.D.) providers.

Abstract:
This thesis focusses on the role of attentional bias for health-threat information in the production and maintenance of medically unexplained symptoms, somatoform disorders and high levels of physical symptom reporting. It is comprised of three separate papers. Paper 1 was prepared for Clinical Psychology Review as a systematic review of the evidence concerning attentional bias for health–threat information in populations presenting with somatoform/somatic symptom disorders and high levels of physical symptom reporting. From the 20 studies deemed relevant for review, it was concluded that - although limited - the evidence indicated that a relationship existed between attentional bias for health-threat information and levels of physical symptom reporting. No robust evidence was found to establish whether this relationship was a casual one. Paper 2 was prepared for Journal of Abnormal Psychology and investigated whether an exogenous cueing task could be used to reduce presumed attentional bias for health-threat information in a sample of high symptom reporting students. The results showed an unexpected attentional avoidance of health-threat information at baseline, which the study manipulation unintentionally exacerbated. No change in levels of physical symptom reporting was noted between groups (attributed to a methodological error) but a trend in relatively greater anxiety for those who received the manipulation was noted. It was concluded that avoidance may be a key factor in high symptom reporting and that this merited further research. Paper 3 provided a critical reflection of Papers 1 and 2, as well as the research process as a whole. Implications for theory and clinical practice as well as future research directions were discussed.

Abstract:
There is a paucity of research on the diagnosis of dissociative disorders in children. Most children are misdiagnosed with more common mental disorders with similar symptoms. Earlier recognition of dissociative disorders can save years of pain, suffering, and cost. This qualitative collective case study examined the process of diagnosing dissociation in two children under the ages of 12 at the beginning of treatment. A concurrent focus on the training and development of the therapist/researcher is included. Archival data including progress notes, psychotherapy notes, assessments, correspondence, legal documents, school records, and medical records were analyzed using within-case and cross-case analyses to identify individual and common themes that may expedite the diagnosis of dissociative disorders in children. The narrative presentation of a qualitative study with its thick, rich description may increase the understanding of clinicians with little or no experience and help them to differentiate these disorders from other disorders with overlapping symptoms. Factors that impeded and advanced the recognition of dissociative disorders were identified. Clinical findings underscore the role of knowledge and training, experience, and consultation in the diagnosis of dissociative disorders.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Som vårdgivare möter vi ofta patienter med psykosomatiska symtom och sjukdomar, patienter med fysiska symtom som saknar tydlig organisk förklaring. Inom primärvården har cirka 30% av patienterna medicinskt oförklarliga symtom. Tidigare forskning har visat att vårdgivare känner sig osäkra och otillräckliga när de handlägger patienter med psykosomatiska symtom. Det tycks vara svårt att veta hur man ska bemöta denna patientgrupp och hjälpa dem att uppnå god hälsa. Syfte: Syftet med litteraturstudien var att beskriva hur vuxna patienter med psykosomatiska symtom upplevde mötet med och bemötandet av sin vårdgivare samt beskriva de inkluderade artiklarnas datainsamlingsmetod. Metod: En beskrivande litteraturstudie baserades på tio vetenskapliga artiklar. Artiklarna söktes fram i databaserna PubMed och Cinahl. Ansatsen på de inkluderade artiklarna var både kvalitativ och kvantitativ. Artiklarna har noggrant granskats i syfte att finna skillnader och likheter. Resultat: Patienter som fick känslomässigt stöd, förklaringar, togs på allvar och var delaktiga i beslut var de som kände mest välbefinnande och tillfredsställelse med vårdgivaren och det bemötande de fick. De patienter som möttes av oengagerade vårdgivare, blev ifrågasatta och upplevde ett motstånd, kände att de var en börda för sjukvården. De inkluderade artiklarnas datainsamlingsmetoder var intervjuer och enkäter. Slutsats: Resultatet visade att många patienter med psykosomatiska symtom sökte bekräftelse. Kommunikation var viktigt för att dessa patienter skulle känna trygghet och förtroende. Genom vidare forskning och viss förändring i omhändertagandet av dessa patienter, skulle sjuksköterskan kunna bidra med denna trygghet i större utsträckning.<br>Background: As healthcare providers we often meet patients with psychosomatic symptoms and diseases, patients with physical symptoms who lack clear organic explanation. In primary care, approximately 30% of patients have medically unexplained symptoms. Previous research has shown that healthcare providers feel insecure and insufficient when handling patients with psychosomatic symptoms. It seems difficult to know how to respond to this patient group and help them achieve good health. Aim: The aim of the literature study was to describe how adult patients with psychosomatic symptoms experienced the encounter with and the treatment of their healthcare providers, and to describe the data collection methods of the included articles. Method: A descriptive literature study based on ten scientific articles. The articles were searched in the PubMed and Cinahl databases. The included articles were designed both qualitative and quantitative. The articles have been carefully reviewed in order to find differences and similarities. Result: Patients who received emotional support, explanations, were taken seriously and participated in decisions were those who felt most well-being and satisfaction with the care and the response they received. Patients who were met by uncommitted healthcare providers, and were questioned and experienced a resistance from their providers, were those who felt that they were a burden on healthcare. Data collection methods in the included articles were interviews and questionnaires. Conclusion: The result showed that many patients with psychosomatic symptoms sought confirmation. Communication was important for these patients to feel safe and confident. Through further research and some change in the treatment of these patients, the nurse could contribute to this safety to a greater extent.

Were estimated the content validity, construct validity, validity of criterion and internal consistency of the instrument. The sample was integrated by three groups: G1: 30 patients diagnosed with BDD (F = 70% and M = 30%), G2: 400 college students (F = 74.5% and M = 25.5%) and G3: 10 professionals of Psychology (N = 4), Psychiatry (N = 2), Dentistry (N = 2) and Plastic Surgery (N = 2) with clinical experience between 8 and 31 years. The SA-BDD is a 35- item instrument answered by a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (fully disagree) to 4 (totally agree). Originally, items were developed to evaluate three dimensions, described in the literature as typical of the BDD: 1. Concern with a defect in appearance, 2. Suffering and loss of social and/or occupational functioning, and other, 3. Concern is not better explained by other disorders such as anorexia. Items of the first version of the scale were reformulated and divided into groups of items with 4 statements regarding each level of intensity. Five (5) more items of groups were also developed to increase the number of items for differential diagnosis (dimension 3). A theoretical analysis of the 40 groups of items, carried out by independent judges, gave measure of the content validity of the scale. Judges have not agreed on five items. The scale was then applied to G1 and G2. The factor analysis with Varimax rotation pointed to a one-dimension solution, consisting of 28 items, loading above 0.53, bringing together two of the theoretical dimensions: "Concern with a defect in appearance and suffering and loss of social and or occupational functioning, and others." The validity of criterion, carried out by the Mann- Whitney U test showed that 30 of the 35 items are sensitive to discriminate individuals diagnosed with BDD from individuals without this diagnosis. The scale showed an excellent internal consistency with Cronbach's alpha equal to 0.97. It was concluded that 28 items should be retained for a new version of the instrument (SA-BDD-28), which showed good content validity, construct validity, validity of criterion and reliability. Considerations regarding the one-dimensional solution and suggestions for further study are made.<br>O estudo analisou as propriedades psicom?tricas da Escala de Avalia??o do Transtorno Dism?rfico Corporal EA-TDC. Foram estimadas a validade de conte?do, validade de construto, a validade de crit?rio e a consist?ncia interna do instrumento. Contou-se com tr?s amostras de participantes: G1: 30 pacientes diagnosticados com TDC de ambos os sexos (F=70% e M=30%); G2: 400 estudantes universit?rios de ambos os sexos (F=74,5% e M=25,5%); e G3: 10 profissionais das ?reas de Psicologia (N=4), Psiquiatria (N=2), Odontologia (N=2) e Cirurgia Pl?stica (N=2), com experi?ncia cl?nica entre 8 e 31 anos. A EA-TDC ? um instrumento composto de 35 itens que devem ser respondidos por meio de uma escala Likert de 4 pontos, que variam entre 1 (discordo plenamente) e 4 (concordo plenamente). Originalmente, foram desenvolvidos itens para avaliar tr?s dimens?es, descritas na literatura como t?picas do TDC: 1. Preocupa??o com um defeito na apar?ncia; 2. Sofrimento e preju?zo no funcionamento social, ocupacional e outros; 3. Preocupa??o n?o ? melhor explicada por outros transtornos, como a anorexia. Os itens desta vers?o da Escala foram reformulados em itens com 4 alternativas de resposta cada referente ao grau de intensidade. Foram criados tamb?m mais 5 itens para ampliar o n?mero de itens referentes ao diagn?stico diferencial (dimens?o 3). Em rela??o ? validade de conte?do verificou-se a pertin?ncia dos 40 itens ao construto, por meio da an?lise te?rica de ju?zes. Cinco itens n?o obtiveram concord?ncia de no m?nimo 80% entre os ju?zes e foram eliminados. A escala foi ent?o aplicada no G1 e no G2. A an?lise fatorial com rota??o varimax apontou para uma solu??o unidimensional, composta de 28 itens com cargas superiores 0,53, que se agruparam em um ?nico fator (F1). Este reuniu duas das dimens?es te?ricas em uma ?nica: Preocupa??o com um defeito na apar?ncia e Sofrimento e preju?zo no funcionamento social, ocupacional e outros . A validade de crit?rio, por meio da prova U de Mann-Whitney, mostrou que 30 dos 35 itens da escala s?o sens?veis para discriminar os indiv?duos diagnosticados com TDC dos indiv?duos sem o diagn?stico do transtorno. Dentre eles encontravam-se os 28 j? apontados pela an?ise fatorial. Submetidos a an?lise de consist?ncia interna, os 28 itens resultaram em alpha de Cronbach igual a 0,97. Concluiu-se que estes 28 itens deveriam ser retidos para a constitui??o de uma nova vers?o do instrumento (EA-TDC- 28), por deterem validade de conte?do, validade de construto, validade de crit?rio e precis?o.

Abstract:
A Psicossomática se constituiu como campo de saber tendo como uma de suas principais influências as contribuições de Freud a respeito da relação entre mente e corpo. Desde Alexander até os teóricos de orientação psicanalítica mais atuais, a questão da somatização, no sentido lato, vem sendo discutida e, apesar das divergências teóricas, o que sempre está em pauta nas somatizações é o comprometimento da capacidade de simbolização do sujeito frente às vicissitudes da vida. Essa mesma característica é central nas neuroses atuais, de forma que há possível associação entre a somatização e a neurose atual. Dessa forma, os objetivos principais são verificar se esse comprometimento na capacidade de simbolização está presente e como se apresenta em sujeitos com somatização e em sujeitos com neurose atual. Para se realizar o estudo, foram eleitos dois transtornos que são representantes das categorias acima citadas: nas somatizações, vamos pensar a partir dos transtornos somatoformes, utilizando a subcategoria dos transtornos neurovegetativos somatoformes, elegendo a Síndrome do Intestino Irritável; e nas Neuroses Atuais, o Transtorno de Pânico (Neurose de Angústia). Os resultados vão permitir uma comparação, a partir da capacidade de simbolização, entre essas duas categorias e a verificação de maiores relações entre ambas, assim como relação com alexitimia, pensamento operatório e personalidade tipo A, características geralmente associadas a esses tipos de pacientes. A pesquisa foi feita a partir de estudos bibliográficos e psicodiagnóstico dos sujeitos da pesquisa, com entrevista semi-dirigida, aplicação de pranchas do TAT, escalas de alexitimia (TAS e OAS) e entrevista para Personalidade tipo A. Foram utilizados três sujeitos com Síndrome do Intestino Irritável e dois com Transtorno de Pânico. Nos sujeitos da pesquisa, quando aparece comprometimento na capacidade de simbolização, as histórias no TAT são mais curtas, descritivas, concretas, com introdução de nenhum ou poucos elementos externos à prancha, dificuldade na resolução de conflito, personagens pouco integrados, ausência de referências afetivas ou afetividade negativa, prejuízo da integração do ego, com predomínio de pensamento do tipo operatório. Pensar o comprometimento da capacidade de simbolização em pacientes com somatização a partir do pensamento operatório faz sentido, visto que os sujeitos apresentaram tal forma de pensamento, embora apresentem variações significativas na intensidade e frequência de funcionamento metal do tipo operatório. Contudo, definir o paciente com somatização ou com neurose atual necessariamente como alexitímico é insuficiente, visto que nem todos apresentaram tal característica. Pela análise de dados dos sujeitos, há pacientes os quais o comprometimento na capacidade de simbolização funciona como defesa psíquica diante da angústia, de forma a prejudicar a integração do ego em razão de manter um funcionamento mental mais estável; e há os que esse comprometimento é característico do funcionamento mental. Compreendendo o funcionamento psicológico que há por trás das somatizações o comprometimento da capacidade de simbolização e as formas como se configura na dinâmica psíquica do sujeito como defesa psíquica ou como característica do funcionamento mental pode-se estabelecer métodos de abordagens e técnicas psicoterápicas mais eficientes e condizentes com pacientes com somatizações<br>The Psychosomatic constituted itself as a field of knowledge has as one of his major influences the contributions of Freud on the relationship between mind and body. From Alexander to the psychoanalytic theoristis more current, the issue of somatization in the broadest sense, has been discussed and, despite the theoretical differences, is always at hand in somatization the impaired ability of symbolization of the subject facing the vicissitudes of life. This same feature is central to the actual neurosis, so that there is a possible association between somatization and actual neurosis. Thus, the main objectives are to determine if that impairment in the ability of symbolization is present and how shown in subjects with somatization and in subjects with actual neurosis. To perform the study, two disorders that are elected representatives of the categories mentioned above: in somatization, we think from the somatoform disorders, using the subcategory of somatoform autonomic dysfunction, electing the Irritable Bowel Syndrome, and in Actual Neurosis, the Panic Disorder (Anxiety Neurosis). The results will allow a comparison, from the capacity for symbolization, between these two categories and the verification of relations between the two, as well as compared with alexithymia, operational thinking and type A personality, characteristics associated with these types of patients. The survey was conducted from bibliographic studies and psychodiagnostic research subjects, with semi-directed interview, application of TAT cards scales of alexithymia (TAS and OAS) and interview for Type A Personality. We used three subjects with Irritable Bowel Syndrome and two with Panic Disorder. In the research subjects, when it appears impairment in the ability of symbolization, the TAT stories are shorter, descriptive, concrete, with few or no introduction of foreign elements to the board, difficulty in conflict resolution, low integrated characters, no references affective or negative affectivity, impaired ego integration, with a predominance of thought like operatory. Thinking the impaired ability of symbolization in patients with somatization from operational thinking makes sense, because the subjects had this way of thinking, although they have shown significant variations in intensity and frequency of operation of the metal type operatory. However, defining the patient with somatization or actual neurosis necessarily as alexithymic is insufficient, since not everyone had such a feature. For the data analysis of the subjects, there are patients who compromise the ability to symbolizing as psychic defense in the face of anguish, in order to undermine the integration of the ego to maintain a more stable mental functioning, and there are that this commitment is characteristic of mental functioning. Understanding the psychological functioning that is behind the somatization - the impaired ability of symbolization - and the ways to configure the psychic dynamics of the subject - such as defense or as a psychological characteristic of mental functioning - can establish methods of psychotherapeutic approaches and techniques more efficient and consistent with patients with somatization

Abstract:
Objective. Although somatoform disorders are assumed to be chronic clinical conditions, epidemiological knowledge on their natural course based on representative samples is not available. Method. Data come from a prospective epidemiologic study of adolescents and young adults in Munich, Germany. Respondents’ diagnoses (N = 2548) at baseline and follow-up on average 42 months later are considered. The follow-up incidence, stability as well as selected baseline risk factors (sociodemographics, psychopathology, trauma exposure) for the incidence and stability of somatoform disorders and syndromes are prospectively examined. Diagnostic information was assessed by using the standardized Munich-Composite International Diagnostic Interview (M-CIDI). Results. Over the follow-up period, incidence rate for any of the covered somatoform diagnoses was 25.7%. Stability for the overall group of any somatoform disorder/syndrome was 48%. Female gender, lower social class, the experience of any substance use, anxiety and affective disorder as well as the experience of traumatic sexual and physical threat events predicted new onsets of somatoform conditions, while stability was predicted by being female, prior existing substance use, affective and eating disorders as well as the experience of a serious accident. Conclusions. At least for a substantial proportion of individuals, the overall picture of somatization seems to be relatively stable, but with fluctuation in the symptom picture over time. Being female, the experience of substance use as well as anxiety disorder seem to constitute risk factors for the onset of new somatoform conditions as well as for a stable course over time.
