Somatoform Disorders in Adults: Conceptualization, Evaluation, & Treatment
The aim of this presentation is to equip providers who see adults with somatoform disorders in evaluative or treatment contexts. Starting with a solid conceptualization helps to inform the assessment and treatment process for psychological conditions, and this is particularly true for somatoform conditions. The goal for an attendee of this presentation is threefold: 1) to be more likely to recognize somatoform disorders when part of the clinical picture, 2) to know more about how to effectively assess for somatoform disorders in a clinic screening and more in-depth assessment context, and 2) to better understand how to tailor evidence-based treatment for these individuals with consideration to cultural and contextual variables. Psychologists can serve an integral role in the overall management and treatment of adults with somatoform conditions.
Learning Objectives:
By completing this program, participants will able to:
1. summarize the relationship between somatoform disorders and the concept of self-deception.
2. identify the conceptual difference between somatoform disorders and malingering and differences in assessment findings for each.
3. describe how the current evidence base of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be tailored for individualized treatment for adults with somatoform disorders with consideration of cultural and contextual factors.
