SOMATOFORM DISORDERS
PREVENTION |
|
|
|
Generalizations regarding prevention of
somatoform disorders are difficult because these syndromes affect
different age groups, vary in their symptom patterns and persistence,
and result from different problems of adjustment to the surrounding
culture. In theory, allowing expression of emotional pain in
children, rather than regarding it as "weak," might reduce the
secondary gain of physical symptoms that draw the care or attention
of parents. |
