Johnson (psychology, University of North Carolina) overviews features and treatment of the most common medically unexplained illnesses seem in primary care: irritable bowel syndrome, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and multiple chemical sensitivity. She looks at the ways in which they are aggravated by psychosocial factors, including childhood abuse and stress, and searches for clues as to why medically unexplained illnesses strike women in overwhelmingly disproportionate numbers. She surveys recent research on how psychological, social, and physiological factors may interact and contribute to the development of symptoms, and presents therapy examples to demonstrate how this knowledge can inform practice. Although the book is aimed at psychologists and healthcare professionals, the material is presented in a style accessible to general readers as well.
