Abstract
The physical experience of emotional stress is a hallmark of somatic symptom and related disorders (SSRDs). Such physical experiences are involuntary, common, and adaptive over the course of development; however, for 8–12% of youth, physical symptoms cause significant distress and severe impairments in attending school, exercising, and socializing. Often, these youth and their families search for physical rather than emotional explanations for symptoms. This places an enormous burden on the medical system, and there are currently few resources for treatment. This study reports on the development and evaluation of a new emotionally focused approach to managing SSRDs.
