Learn how a patient's behavior can factor into the prognosis of
medically unexplainable illness! The Psychopathology of Functional
Somatic Syndromes examines the link between mental illness and
physical syndromes that lack organic disease explanations,
including chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, premenstrual
dysphoria, irritable bowel, and Gulf War illness. The author has
evaluated the best research work of the past 20 years to determine
the association between psychopathology and functional illness, the
biological gradient between somatic and psychological symptoms, and
the manifestations of dysfunctional coping. The Psychopathology of
Functional Somatic Syndromes challenges recent conceptualizations
of functional somatic syndromes as brain disorders connected to
affective spectrum disorder, serotonin deficiency, cerebral
hypoperfusion or abnormal hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal function
and highlights the importance of abnormal illness behavior, sexual
victimization, and maladaptive coping for the production and
maintenance of these disorders. The Psychopathology of Functional
Somatic Syndromes explores observations on the neurobiology and the
personality abnormalities of patients made from structured data
collected over a period of several years. It describes modern
perceptions of functional somatic syndromes and how they have
evolved into a tightly knit family of self-standing syndromes with
a common core. The book examines the correlation between the burden
of psychopathology and the physical features of these illnesses;
reviews advances made in the appraisal of the neuroanatomy,
neuropsychology, and neurochemistry of functional syndromes; and
focuses on the connection between measurable dimensions of
personality, coping, and illness behavior and the prognosis of
medically unexplainable illnesses. The Psychopathology of
Functional Somatic Syndromes examines: psychiatric morbidity brain
perfusion post-traumatic stress in Gulf War illness the spectrum of
mood disorders the hypothalamatic-pituitary-adrenal axis the sexual
victimization of patients and much more! The Psychopathology of
Functional Somatic Syndromes is an essential resource for
psychiatrists and psychologists working in outpatient practice.
