This Distinction Has Left Many Clinicians Unable To Treat Successfully Patients Whose Symptomssuch As Headaches, Conversion Paralysis, And Seizuresarise From The Place Where Mind And Body Meet. In This Book, The Authors Describe A Powerful Narrative Therapy, One That Relies On The Wisdom And Everyday Language Of Patients' Reallife Stories Instead Of The Expert Knowledge And Professional Language Of The Clinician. This Approach Can Be Used Across All Categories Of Somatic Symptoms, From Factitious Ones To Medical Illnesses Such As Asthma Or Migraine Headaches.The Authors Show How Somatic Symptoms Are Often Related To Unspeakable Dilemmas, As In The Case Of A Child Who, After Discovering A Parent'S Marital Infidelity, Is Afraid To Disclose The Secret And Begins Having Blackout Spells For Which A Neurologist Can Find No Physiological Basis. These Dilemmas Can Be Understood Only If A Clinician Creates The Kind Of Relationship In Which Privately Held Stories Of Fear, Shame, And Threat Can Be Told Safely.
