A quarter of all the patients who turn up in the doctor's office have physical complaints for which no medical cause can be found. Those affected in this way undergo many, sometimes unnecessary, examinations until they end up in psychotherapy with the diagnosis of ‘somatoform disorder’. Apart from affective disorders and anxiety disorders, somatoform disorders comprise the most frequent mental disorders. However, as anyone suffering from somatoform disorders usually has a history of ineffective medical treatment behind them, effective psychotherapy is important. This tools book is a compilation of work materials for all the phases of psychotherapy.
