People with somatoform disorder (which used to be known as hysteria)
present with a range of symptoms that typically last for years and
can't be traced to a specific physical cause. Such symptoms may
include frequent headaches; back pain; abdominal cramping and pelvic
pain; pain in the joints, legs and arms; chest or abdominal pain, and
gastrointestinal problems. This book is an in-depth, clinically
orientated review of the somatoform disorders and related clinical
presentations (such as chronic fatigue syndrome) and how they present
in a medico-legal setting. It is aimed at both clinicians and lawyers
who deal with injury claims where these disorders impact much more
frequently than is generally recognised.
