Abstract
SOMATIZATION disorder has traditionally been viewed as a chronic and unremitting condition. Early descriptions of Briquet syndrome1 and somatization disorder emphasized their early onset and long-term stability. These characteristics made somatization disorder2-4 one of the earliest areas for research on the familial nature of psychiatric disorders.5-7Keywords
