- Summary
- "Patients with medically unexplained physical symptoms represent a significant proportion of those seeking help in primary care settings, emergency rooms, and mental health clinics. Their ailments, once labeled "psychosomatic," are now known as somatoform disorders. This volume presents an innovative and nuanced cognitive-behavioral framework and effective clinical methods for relieving the suffering associated with these conditions. Grounded in extensive research and clinical experience, the authors' approach is the first evidence-based treatment for somatization disorder, the most debilitating and difficult to treat of all the somatoform disorders. The treatment is also applicable to such related problems as fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, and chronic fitigue syndrome."--Jacket.
