Re my previous post:=20

A reminder that Creed, Henningsen and Fink published a book last year =
that was born out of the EACLPP MUS Study Group called:
"Medically Unexplained Symptoms, Somatisation and Bodily Distress: =
Developing Better Clinical Services" Published by Cambridge University =
Press, 14 July 2011
Some pages of this book can be read on Google Books at:

Extracts from the book:
=20
"They [unexplained bodily symptoms] form one of the most expensive =
categories of health care expenditure in Europe. This book makes the =
case for shifting some of this expenditure away from numerous =
investigations for organic disease and towards effective treatment of =
bodily distress." (Preface vi)
"Since the traditional labels 'medically unexplained symptoms' or =
'somatisation' are so unhelpful, we propose the term 'bodily distress' =
as a more useful term for these disorders..." (Preface vi)
"ICD-10 included neurasthenia (chronic fatigue), as one of the =
somatoform disorders. This is considered here as chronic fatigue =
syndrome under the heading of functional somatic syndromes." (Page 8)
Some discussion of functional somatic syndromes on Page 10-16.
DSM-5 proposals for "CSSD" discussed briefly on Pages 43-45 with =
discussion of alternative terms (bodily distress disorder, functional =
somatic
disorder/syndrome).
-----------------
I hope that our professional advocates - our researchers and clinicians =
and our advocacy organizations will also be monitoring the progress of =
the ICD-11 Alpha and Beta drafts and participating in stakeholder =
interaction with the drafting process. I will update when more =
information on the release date of the Beta drafting platform becomes =
available and on any changes to the Alpha as it stood on 17 February =
2012.
