Excerpt
This chapter focuses on the more intensive treatments delivered by mental health specialists for patients with somatic symptom disorders, usually in mental health specialty settings. Interventions delivered in the primary care and hospital consultation settings are covered in Chapter 33 (“Primary Care and Consultation-Liaison Interventions for Somatic Symptom and Related Disorders”). Although pharmacotherapy is often central to intensive treatment by mental health specialists, pharmacological interventions are covered in Chapter 34 (“Pharmacological Interventions for Psychosomatic Disorders”), leaving for this chapter the remaining approaches to the management of somatic symptom disorders.
