In the recently updated Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), the diagnostic concept of hypochondriasis was eliminated and replaced by somatic symptom disorder and illness anxiety disorder. Hypochondriasis and Health Anxiety: A Guide for Clinicians, edited by Vladan Starcevic and Russell Noyes and written by prominent clinicians and researchers in the field, addresses current issues in recognizing, understanding, and treating hypochondriasis. Using a pragmatic approach, it offers a wealth of clinically useful information. The book also provides a critical review of the underlying conceptual and treatment issues, addressing varying perspectives and synthesizing the current research. Specific topics the text covers include: clinical manifestations, diagnostic and conceptual issues, classification, relationships with other disorders, assessment, epidemiology, economic aspects, course, outcome and treatment. Additionally, the book discusses patient-physician relationship in the context of hypochondriasis and health anxiety and presents cognitive, behavioral, interpersonal and psychodynamic models and treatments. The authors also address the neurobiological underpinnings of hypochondriasis and health anxiety and pharmacological treatment approaches. Based on the extensive clinical experience of its authors, there are numerous case illustrations and practical examples of how to assess, understand and manage individuals presenting with disease preoccupations, health anxiety and/or beliefs that they are seriously ill. It approaches its subject from various perspectives and is a work of integration and critical thinking about an area often shrouded in controversy.

Medically unexplained somatic symptoms are problematic in psychiatry, primary care settings, and other clinical areas. The burden they impose on health-care systems constitutes a significant public health problem. At the international symposium "Rethinking Somatoform Disorders," this problem was addressed by specialists working in somatoform disorders, psychiatric nosology, epidemiology, and biological and cross-cultural psychiatry. The meeting was the third of the Keio University International Symposia for Life Sciences and Medicine, in collaboration with the World Health Organization and the World Psychiatric Association.

The second section is an overview of the various processes that lead to bodily complaints, including somatization.

On any given day, most of us experience some form of minor, short-lived symptom without physical illness - such as back pain, palpitations, or a nervous stomach - often the body's expression of emotional discomfort. Most people recognize these pains as an indication that they are overstressed and need to make an adjustment. But often these symptoms do not speak so clearly, and both patients and doctors enter a labyrinth of complex physical ailments for which there is no apparent biological cause. The result is a medical mystery that preoccupies patients and confounds and frustrates doctors and psychiatrists. When the Body Speaks Its Mind explains through compelling case histories how people can become hypochondriacs, people whose physical symptoms are masks for their true psychological problems. In these fascinating stories: An elderly man's ghostly and unbearable pain is eventually linked to his traumatic childhood and current sexual difficulties; a young executive's visits to scores of medical specialists for a host of ailments over many years finally lead him to realize the origin of these ailments in a deep-seated anger; and the disturbing truth about a woman's fairy-tale marriage is revealed during the pursuit of the causes for her disabling palpitations. But these unusual cases seem mundane when compared with the extreme condition known as Munchausen's syndrome, in which patients skillfully feign and create illness to lure their physicians into performing complex treatments, even when it means flirting with death through unnecessary surgery or prescriptions. Medical specialists are often confounded by these carefully constructed physical symptoms, and the patients live much oftheir lives in hospitals. Armed with surprising knowledge of diagnostic medicine and manipulating the compassionate tendencies of their doctors, Munchausens are the terrorists of the medical world. In this captivating book, Dr. Goodman acts as a detective, delving into the psychological mysteries behind his patients' physical symptoms. His insightful sleuthing uncovers appropriate treatments for these complex mind-body problems and presents new understanding of the promise of modern psychiatry and the power of the mind.

The Mind-Body Interface in Somatization: When Symptom Becomes Disease represents a unique contribution to the clinician's tool chest for diagnosing and treating psychosomatic illness. This book breaks new ground by asking and answering many of the key questions that trouble every practicing clinician: Why do patients use somatization? Can we predict who will be a somatizer? Is there an underlying process involved? Why are these patients so difficult to treat? Beginning with a discussion of contemporary disease classification, The Mind-Body Interface in Somatization clarifies matters greatly by talking in terms of chronic and situational somatization, showing that chronic patients use illness as a way of life, while situational patients somatically respond to existential crises, and revealing how both are rooted in the mind-body interface. Drawing on elements of personality theory, the authors discuss the core conflicts and character structure inherent in both types of somatization and suggest treatment options appropriately geared toward the needs of each. The Mind-Body Interface in Somatization describes how chronic somatization can be addressed by cognitive-behavioral therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, while situational somatization can be managed with short-term existential psychotherapy. Concluding with a discussion of medications that may be helpful to the somatizing patient, this volume represents an original approach to explaining what goes on in the mind of the somatizer.

In the spring of 1982, we began our collaboration while on sabbatical in Jerusa lem. Working together at Hadassah Medical Center, we discovered that we had overlapping and complementary interests. The wonderful surroundings com bined with a warm friendship nourished the development of this book. E. G. S:s interest in neuropsychology, cognitive function, and diagnostic clas sification and A. A R:s interest in the development of normal sexual behavior, incest and its consequences for psychopathology, and psychoanalytic thought provided a broad perspective on the field of somatoform disorders. For E. G. S. , Lawrence A. Lockman, a faculty member in pediatric neurology at the Univer sity of Minnesota who has a great interest in these cases, was particularly helpful. Many of the ideas on case management came from his admonitions to the house staff on rounds regarding proper management of patients and families. When we began to write the book in the fall of 1984, two students of E. G. S:s became involved. Norman Cohen, then a post doc, was very interested in pain and biofeedback, having worked extensively in the Pain Clinic at the University of Minnesota Hospitals. He was seeing many of the children in the clinic who required biofeedback and was especially interested in those with headache. He agreed to write the chapter on headache.
