Default MUST READ: The Greatest Challenge In Treatment Of MCS

Occup Med. 2000 Jul-Sep;15(3):627-46.
Psychological treatment of psychogenic idiopathic
environmental intolerance.
Staudenmayer H.
Behavioral Medicine and Biofeedback Clinic of Denver,
Denver, CO 80222, USA.

This chapter focuses on the psychotherapy of individuals
who suffer distress from functional somatic syndromes;
specifically, idiopathic environmental intolerance (IEI).
While patients believe environmental intolerances cause their
distress, its origin is treated as psychological, mediated
through psychophysiological systems and mechanisms associated
with the stress response. Factors considered include stress
and trauma premorbid to the alleged onset of IEI;
somatization and its expression through affective, anxiety,
and somatoform disorders; personality disorders and
associated psychological defenses; motivation for the
sick role; and iatrogenic suggestion and reinforcement of
unsubstantiated toxicogenic theories and treatments.
Psychotherapies include behavioral desensitization,
cognitive-behavioral therapy, cognitive therapy, and
psychotropic medications. The greatest challenge in treatment
is to overcome the patient's disabling belief in a
toxicogenic explanation for his or her symptoms.
