Summary
Somatic symptom disorder (SSD) entails a preoccupation with one or more physical symptoms that are attributed to a nonpsychiatric disease. Research on treatment for SSD supports the use of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for reducing symptomatology and improving physical functioning and quality of life. This chapter summarizes the research base for CBT for SSD and provides a clinical guide to formulating, assessing, and implementing CBT for clients with SSD. Assessment requires ruling out organic medical conditions and assessing triggers of SSD, beliefs about body sensations, and associated safety behaviors. The use of a functional assessment and self-monitoring aids in developing an idiosyncratic case conceptualization. Treatment includes psychoeducation, cognitive restructuring to challenge beliefs about bodily sensations, a mix of interoceptive, in vivo, and imaginal exposure, and the elimination of all safety behaviors. The chapter concludes with a summary of recent advances in treatment of SSD, including mindfulness-based approaches.
