23. SOMATOFORM DISORDER AND IMPLICIT MEMORY BIAS (Ott Et Al, 2000) Cognitive theories of somatoform disorders posit information processing biases that influence the maintenance, and perhaps the etiology, of somatization http://www.gwdg.de/~bbandel/gjp-poster-ott.htm

German Journal of Psychiatry SOMATOFORM DISORDER AND IMPLICIT MEMORY BIAS R. Ott , R. Spielberg, and O.B. Scholz Department of Psychology, University Bonn THEORETICAL BACKGROUND Barsky and coworkers argue, that somatosensory amplification is one central pathological mechanism involved in somatoform disorders. Furthermore, this bodily hypervigilance is suppossed to be based on a more general process of selective attention to unpleasant events. However, it is worth noting that this theoretical assumption about a more general process of selective processing not only concerning interoception is not based on experimental data. Aim of this study was to analyse cognitive processes for threatening auditory word material in somatoform disorders. METHOD Subjects Experiment 1: Ss with somatization syndrome according to the Somatic Symptom Index (SSI-4/6, n=14) versus healthy control Ss (n=14, analogue study, c.f.

Advertising Information Somatoform Disorders Somatoform Disorders are those conditions that are suggestive of a physical disorder but upon examination cannot be accounted for by a medical disorder, a substance or other mental disorder. These disorders are usually presented in general medical settings as the patients presume them to be of somatic origin. To warrant the diagnosis of Somatoform Disorder the symptoms must cause significant impairment or distress. Somatization Disorder was formerly called hysteria. Primarily affecting women, it generally has its onset in adolescence or early adulthood and lasts for years. Its symptoms usually include a combination of pain, pseudoneurological, digestive and sexual complaints. Undifferentiated Somatoform Disorder is a milder form of Somatization Disorder lasting at least six months. Conversion Disorder is characterized by unexplained sensory motor deficits which are judged to be psychogenic.

Encyclopedia Index S Home Encyclopedia Encyclopedia Index S Somatoform disorders Definition The somatoform disorders are a group of mental disturbances placed in a common category on the basis of their external symptoms. These disorders are characterized by physical complaints that appear to be medical in origin but that cannot be explained in terms of a physical disease, the results of substance abuse, or by another mental disorder. In order to meet the criteria for a somatoform disorder, the physical symptoms must be serious enough to interfere with the patient's employment or relationships, and must be symptoms that are not under the patient's voluntary control. It is helpful to understand that the present classification of these disorders reflects recent historical changes in the practice of medicine and psychiatry. When psychiatry first became a separate branch of medicine at the end of the nineteenth century, the term hysteria was commonly used to describe mental disorders characterized by altered states of consciousness (for example, sleepwalking or trance states) or physical symptoms (for example, a "paralyzed" arm or leg with no neurologic cause) that could not be fully explained by a medical disease. The term dissociation was used for the psychological mechanism that allows the mind to split off uncomfortable feelings, memories, or ideas so that they are lost to conscious recall. Sigmund Freud and other pioneering psychoanalysts thought that the hysterical patient's symptoms resulted from dissociated thoughts or memories reemerging through bodily functions or trance states. Prior to the categorization all mental disorders that were considered to be forms of

MJA Home Managing somatoform disorders Bruce S Singh Psychiatrists rarely manage the majority of patients with somatoform disorders this difficult undertaking falls predominantly on general practitioners. Short course PDF format Synopsis Introduction ... Contents list Synopsis The management of somatoform disorders is a confusing and difficult area. There are many iatrogenic complications, including unnecessary and repetitive investigations and surgery, drug dependence and "doctor shopping". Somatisation is a world wide phenomenon and a common presentation of psychological distress. Three main groups of patients are encountered in general practice: those with high levels of somatic symptoms, those with illness fear, and those with somatic presentations of other psychiatric illnesses. Management is straightforward for the acute cases and consists of trying to get the patient to accept a link between the psychosocial conflicts and the symptoms. Management is very difficult for chronic cases, where care, not cure, is the goal, as is an attempt to limit harm to the patient and limit the cost to the health system. Introduction Box 1: Definitions The general practitioner commonly encounters patients expressing bodily complaints for which no organic cause is readily apparent. Studies have shown that such people form anything from a quarter to half of patients attending general practitioners.

MJA Home Singh, Box 1 Singh Box 1> www.mja.com.au 1998 MJA Definitions Somatisation: The tendency to experience, conceptualise and communicate mental states and distress as physical symptoms or altered bodily function. Somatoform disorder: The presence of physical symptoms that suggest but which are not fully explained by a general medical condition, the direct effects of drugs or another mental disorder. The symptoms must cause clinically significant distress, or impairment in social, occupational or other areas of functioning. In contrast to factitious disorders and malingering, the physical symptoms are not intentional. Somatisation disorder: A rare and extreme version of somatoform disorder where the patient over many years seeks medical attention for many physical symptoms with no evidence of organ pathology. The diagnosis of the disorder requires the presence of 14 of 37 potential symptoms for women and 12 for men (Box 3). Somatisation syndrome A partial version of somatoform disorder, in which the patient has fewer symptoms (four for men, six for women).

Somatoform Home Somatoform disorders represent a group of disorders characterized by physical symptoms suggesting a medical disorder, however no general medical condition, other mental disorder, or substance is present. Psychological conflicts may be translated, or converted, into physical problems, pain, or complaints. Individuals suffering from a somatoform disorder are not consciously aware of the psychological factors which are in operation, and they are not "making up" their physical symptoms. The symptoms and pain are real - the cause is simply psychiatric instead of medical. Types of Somatoform Disorders: Body Dysmorphic Disorder: Individuals suffering from body dysmorphic disorder become deeply concerned about some imagined or minor defect in their appearance. They may go to great lengths to conceal their "defects" or avoid contact with others. Conversion Disorder: In conversion disorder, a psychosocial conflict or need is converted into dramatic physical symptoms that affect voluntary motor or sensory functioning. The symptoms often seem neurological, such as paralysis, blindness, or loss of feeling (anesthesia).
