It does so with respect to both perspectives, without advocating for either approach. By presenting expert views from diverse perspectives, the book raises, what is a central point in most of the chapters, that emotion, its processing and regulation, is a cornerstone of these disorders. The volume also highlights the role of pathogenic coping or defense mechanisms like dysfunctional avoidance (from a CBT perspective) and conversion (from the psychodynamic perspective) in the maintenance of psychosomatic symptoms. The volume’s contents include detailed literature reviews on the most common—and most treatment-resistant—mind\/body conditions, including chronic pain, responses to trauma, alexithymia, and the spectrum of health anxiety disorders. Noted experts distinguish between types of medically unexplained symptoms, discuss their complex processes, and provide models for intervention where cognitive-behavioral or psychodynamic approaches may be appropriate or effective. And a fascinating case study of a patient presenting multiple trauma-related disorders explores therapist resourcefulness over a course of shifting symptoms and frustrating setbacks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmong the topics covered:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaintaining mechanisms of health anxiety: current state of knowledge.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNegative affect and medically unexplained symptoms.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlexithymia as a core trait in psychosomatic and other psychological disorders.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrauma and its consequences for body and mind.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmbodied memories, a new pathway to the unconcious.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePsychotherapy among HIV patients: a look at a psychoimmunological research study after 20 years.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHealth anxiety: a cognitive-behavioral framework.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wealth of options discussed in \u003ci\u003eSomatoform and Psychosomatic Disorders\u003c\/i\u003e  offers health psychologists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, counselors, and psychoanalysts bold new ideas for case formulation, treatment planning, and intervention with some of their most intractable cases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBook details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:6px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eSKU\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eNLS9783030077501\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:6px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eISBN 13\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e9783030077501\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:6px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eISBN 10\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e3030077500\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:6px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eChristos Charis\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:6px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eNew\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:6px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eBinding Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003ePaperback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:6px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003ePublisher\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eSpringer Nature Switzerland AG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:6px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eYear published\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e2018-12-21\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:6px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eNumber of pages\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e220\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:6px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eCover note\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eBook picture is for illustrative purposes only, actual binding, cover or edition may vary.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67722972332277,"sku":"NLS9783030077501","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0795\/8632\/8821\/files\/9783030077501.jpg?v=1792158361","url":"https:\/\/arbiyas.com\/products\/somatoform-and-other-psychosomatic-disorders-by-christos-charis-nls9783030077501","provider":"Arbiyas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
