The interrelationships between somatic and psychiatric complaints
involve virtually every major organ system and every psychiatric
diagnostic category. Psychiatric distress frequently finds
expression in physical ailment or pain, and chronic physical
illness or disability is a common exacerbant of psychiatric
symptoms. The complexity of the interplay between psychological and
physiological disease is profound, and many of the mechanisms
involved remain undefined or imperfectly understood. Our intention
in assembling this volume, the fifth in the Baylor Psychiatry
Series, has been to consolidate the most recent medical and
psychiatric opinion on the description and treatment of
psychophysiological disorders. We have included reviews and new
material on disorders long understood to be in the
psychophysiological realm, such as gastrointestinal disease,
pulmonary reactions, headache, and hypertension. Additionally,
there are contributions on conditions less frequently, but no less
clearly, recognized as psychophysiological or psychosomatic,
including immune response deficits, epilepsy, stuttering, and sleep
disorders. Chapters on Couvade syndrome, menstrually related mood
disturbance, obesity, keratoconus, and anorexia nervosa examine the
degree to which psychological and physical events interact in
conditions usually considered attributable essentially to a single
system. Drs. Dowling and Gaitz have written excellent reviews of
developmental elements in psychophysiological events, and examine
such disorders as they are specific to the very young or the very
old. Treatment approaches to the variety of disorders are discussed
in chapters by Dr. Decker, who describes multifaceted modalities,
Dr. Lomax, who examines psychotherapeutic techniques, and in a
final chapter on psychopharmacological mitigation of
psychophysiological syndromes.
