Abstract
Somatising patients present with a variety of psychosocial dysfunctions. Using the Dysfunctional Analysis Questionnaire and the Global Assessment of Functioning scale, we studied the nature and severity of psychosocial dysfunction in a group of somatising patients. Dysfunction was less marked in the cognitive area than in social, vocational, personal and familial areas. Patients with depressive disorders showed more dysfunction than those with somatoform disorders in all psychosocial areas except cognitive.
