The book provides a practical guide for the treatment of patients with somatization disorder. It begins by presenting options for diagnostic classification, as well as insights into the conditions and risk factors for its development. It discusses how to structure the initial therapeutic contact and how to build a sustainable therapeutic alliance. One goal of the therapeutic approach is to expand the often-present organic disease model in individuals with somatoform disorders to a psychosomatic understanding, thereby motivating them for psychotherapy. The interventions used include self-observations, behavioral experiments, biofeedback, and cognitive therapy methods. Additionally, therapeutic elements are introduced that contribute to the overall improvement of quality of life.
