Q

Somatisation

A

are those symptoms which cannot be explained, even after throrough examination, in terms of any known disease, or cannot be due to the effect of any chemical

these symptoms signalize and cause disharmony among the biological regulatory functions, the personality, the family, the health care system, and the wide social environment.

health is regarded as a positive value in most civilized countries, still many people choose sickness as a way of lfe. this choice is frequently (but not exclusively) unconscious. The patient themselves regard health important and turn to a physician to restore health.

A
  1. pathological stress response and consequent emotional excitement
  2. focusing attention to bodily changes

  5. interpersonal and social embodiment, worsening symptom-attribution
  6. formation of illness behavior.
19

20
Q

Shorter´s idea

A

in somatisation, the unconscious mind selects symptoms that may be evaluated as proofs of real physical disease and by which the patient may invoke response.

society does not create new symptoms but people select from a common symptom pool stored in the form of a common societal memory.

21
Q

Characteristics of somatisation behavior

A

Behavioral deficits are - otherwise normal- functions which do not fit into the given social environment.

Reaction are exaggerated and thus not only their character but also intensity varies from the usual reactions in the particular environment.
