Abstract
A conceptual and clinical approach was developed as a high-quality, economically responsible alternative to the often unsatisfactory approach to patients described as somatizers or hypochondriacs. This approach encourages primary care practitioners to respond in a way that can be mutually satisfying to themselves and their patients who have bodily concerns.
