Reviews
The book itself is comprised of 11 chapters covering ideas about somatization from every conceivable aspect, whether conventional or unusual. Among those, there is a hankering after dialectical behaviour therapy in the management of chronic somatization. All of the chapters are well-written, clear, and reasonable. There are many discussions of related theoretical and social issues which offer thoughts for consideration in a broader focus. The book is nicely produced and easy to read., Somatization is an underappreciated aspect of medical care. This book addresses the need to weave the science and the art of medicine into a whole. Individuals are a complexity of physiologic and emotional interactions influenced by cultural expectations, societal norms, personal experiences, and spiritual orientation. The authors recognize this truth. This book challenges us to examine professional objectiveness and scientific certainty while remembering that there is a person within the patient that presents to the clinician., This is a much needed book on a long neglected topic. Somatization is a problem that has been well-described but poorly understood for many years. The book is illuminating. Jonathan Cole's contribution, probably the last words he wrote for publication in his long life, is classic Cole: wise yet playful, cautious yet ready to take action, acknowledging uncertainty yet offering hope. It is so typical of him that his last statement in clinical psychopharmacology, a field he had founded 50 years before with a handful of others, was a thoughtful, provocative, nicely researched little essay concerning an area that few had thought about and about which only a little was known., This is a much needed book on a long neglected topic.

Synopsis
The Mind-Body Interface in Somatization: When Symptom Becomes Disease represents a unique contribution to the clinician's tool chest for diagnosing and treating psychosomatic illness. Beginning with a discussion of contemporary disease classification, the authors clarify matters greatly by talking in terms of chronic and situational somatization, showing that chronic patients use illness as a way of life while situational patients somatically respond to existential crises, and revealing how both are rooted in the mind-body interface. Drawing on elements of personality theory, the authors discuss the core conflicts and character structure inherent in both types of somatization and suggest treatment options appropriately geared toward the needs of each. Book jacket., The Mind-Body Interface in Somatization addresses the underlying psychological and personality factors predisposing patients to experience somatization and somatizing syndromes.

This book breaks new ground by asking and answering many of the key questions that trouble every practicing clinician: Why do patients use somatization? Can we predict who will be a somatizer? Is there an underlying process involved? Why are these patients so difficult to treat?

Concluding with a discussion of medications that may be helpful to the somatizing patient, this volume represents an original approach to explaining what goes on in the mind of the somatizer., The Mind-Body Interface in Somatization: When Symptom Becomes Disease represents a unique contribution to the clinician's tool chest for diagnosing and treating psychosomatic illness.

I was so excited to receive the book, however, surprised to find it heavily highlighted and underlined! Disappointed; I expected a much cleaner book.
