The concept of psychosomatic disorder
Abstract
The clinical concepts related to the assessment of psychosocial factors in the medically ill are reviewed, with particular reference to the DSM-III-R categories of adjustment disorders, psychological factors affecting physical conditions, and somatoform disorders. The clinical and heuristic value of the concepts of psychosomatic disorder and abnormal illness behavior is underscored.
