Book synopsis

Bodily complaints are very common in the general§population. For many of the most frequent bodily§complaints no medical explanation can be found.§Consequently they are called somatoform. Somatoform§complaints constitute the core symptoms of somatoform§disorders. These are among the most frequent mental§disorders in Germany and Europe and are associated§with high disability and abnormal illness behavior.§The author, Dr. Ricarda Mewes, gives an overview§about three areas that are of major importance for§investigations about bodily complaints and somatoform§disorders. She also reports and discusses data from§current studies. §The three areas are the following: 1. Culture§sensitivity, i.e. the influence of the cultural§background on the perception, presentation, and§frequency of bodily complaints, §2. Health care utilization and the influence of§psychological and other factors on health care§utilization, and §3. Disability by complaints as one of the most§important criteria in diagnosing mental disorders.
