Abstract:
The treatment of a somatoform autonomic dysfunction with a psychogenic form of irritable bowel syndrome will be demonstrated on the example of a 16-year-old girl (Sandra) using cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). After a comprehensive psychological assessment and identification of the dysfunctional cognitive and behaviour patterns, CBT treatment methods will be described regarding the following problem areas: biased somatic attribution, selective perception of interoceptive stimuli, catastrophization as a thought pattern, avoidance behaviour and maintaining factors within the family system.
