View through CrossRef
Abstract
Mind–body dualism is at the core of Western philosophy and has found its way to modern sciences, including psychiatry. Somatization is a term that is used to describe bodily symptoms that may or may not be attributed to a medical condition and, according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition (DSM-5), are related to mental distress. This chapter, with the help of a constructed vignette, explores the relationship between mind–body dualism and somatization. Furthermore, the chapter explores the diagnostic premise of somatization in modern medicine, screening and treatment approaches, and psychotherapeutic techniques.
