Functional somatic syndromes are defined as physical syndromes without an organic disease explanation, demonstrable structural changes, or established biochemical abnormalities. This book reviews the state of scientific and clinical understanding of the nine most common functional somatic syndromes. For each syndrome, expert contributors provide a brief historical perspective, a current definition, a case presentation, confirmatory and contradictory research findings, a discussion of the leading pathogenetic hypotheses, and guidelines for diagnosis and treatment. Chapters offer advice for the determination of disability of patients with these medically unexplained disorders, while describing both medical and psychiatric interventions. Stressing the importance of a sound therapeutic relationship as a basis for treatment, this is an invaluable resource for professionals in primary care and many other disciplines.

Industry Reviews

' ... an outstanding volume ... The book is both scholarly and clinically useful ... modestly priced and well produced. It should be mandatory for any mental health professional who has either the courage or confidence to work with such disorders.' Psychosomatics 'Manu has clearly asked his contributors to attempt to integrate biological and psychosocial findings in each of the disorders discussed, and this is one of the book's strengths.' The British Journal of Psychiatry
