Par troubles somatoformes, on entend l’ensemble des symptômes ou plaintes de type physique pour lesquels aucune anomalie organique ne peut être incriminée. Il s’agit notamment de la fibromyalgie, du côlon irritable ou encore du syndrome de fatigue chronique. Ces troubles représentent le champ le plus discuté et discutable des classifications nosographiques psychiatriques et sans doute aussi l’une des modalités les plus protéiformes d’expression de la souffrance psychique. Les auteurs de cet ouvrage, tous issus du monde médical ou juridique, tentent d’en explorer les aspects principaux. Sont ainsi abordés les thèmes suivants : - l’expertise des troubles somatoformes ; - la fibromyalgie post-traumatique ; - les cercles vicieux, paradoxes et coûts de la fibromyalgie ; - les traumatismes et séquelles des malades du travail ; - le rôle du médecin-conseil de mutualité dans le retour au travail des patients souffrant de troubles somatoformes ; - l’impact de l’état antérieur dans les troubles somatoformes ; - la conscience et la personnalité dans l’approche des troubles somatoformes ; - l’évaluation des troubles somatoformes succédant à un traumatisme

How Patients Think At age twenty-one, Chloë Atkins began suffering from a mysterious illness, the symptoms of which rapidly worsened. Paralyzed for months at a time, she frequently required intubation and life support. She eventually became quadriplegic, dependent both on a wheelchair and on health professionals who refused to believe there was anything physically wrong with her. When test after test returned inconclusive results, Atkins's doctors pronounced her symptoms psychosomatic. Atkins was told not only that she was going to die but also that this was her own fault; they concluded she was so emotionally deranged that she was willing her own death. My Imaginary Illness is the compelling story of Atkins's decades-long battle with a disease deemed imaginary, her frustration with a succession of doctors and diagnoses, her immersion in the world of psychotherapy, and her excruciating physical and emotional journey back to wellness. As both a political theorist and patient, Atkins provides a narrative critique of contemporary medicine and its problematic handling of uncertainty and of symptoms that are not easily diagnosed or known. She convincingly illustrates that medicine's belief in evidence-based practice does not mean that individual doctors are capable of objectivity, nor that the presence of biomedical ethics invokes ethical practices in hospitals and clinics. A foreword by Bonnie Blair O'Connor, who teaches medical students how to listen to patients, and a clinical commentary by Dr. Brian David Hodges, a professor of psychiatry, enrich the book's narrative with practical guidance for medical practitioners and patients alike.

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.

Un numero sempre crescente di studi misura, in Europa e negli Stati Uniti, l’incidenza negativa dello stress e dei disturbi a esso correlati in termini di patologie letali, giornate di lavoro perse, elevata spesa farmacologica e sanitaria. L’impatto economico e sociale di questo fenomeno ha quindi indotto a considerare lo stress come la malattia del nuovo secolo. Questo volume affronta il fenomeno dello stress e dei disturbi psicosomatici con un approccio complesso e multifattoriale: le conseguenze derivanti dalla somatizzazione possono infatti colpire l’organismo sotto molte forme, come patologie connesse al comportamento alimentare, gastrointestinali, cardiocircolatorie, cutanee ed endocrine. Le categorie diagnostiche chiamate in causa sono quindi molto diverse fra loro, ed è per questa ragione che l’opera si è caratterizzata per una gamma di tematiche particolarmente ampia e per il gran numero di esperti che sono stati coinvolti. Oltre a studiare aspetti del problema talvolta meno considerati, come le specificità di genere e il tema dello “stress positivo”, il volume propone un’adeguata integrazione fra psicoterapia, terapia farmacologica e interventi riabilitativi, costituendo una guida esaustiva rivolta non solo a clinici e psicologi, ma anche a studenti di Psicologia e Medicina.
