Somatization disorder (SD) as defined by DSM-III is a modification of criteria previously established to define Briquet's disorder (BD). We examined whether the less stringent SD criteria identify the same patient population as the more stringent BD criteria. All psychiatric female outpatients who reported having multiple unexplained physical problems prior to the age of 30 years were included in the study. Eighty-five (10.7%) of 794 patients fulfilled these screening criteria. Of the 85 patients, 41 had both SD and BD. Thirty-six patients did not have either disorder. The results indicate that the DSM-III criteria for SD are equally effective in identifying patients with BD but considerably less time-consuming and cumbersome to apply.
《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第三版(DSM - III)所定义的躯体化障碍(SD)是对先前用于定义布里凯氏障碍(BD)的标准的一种修订。我们研究了较宽松的SD标准所识别出的患者群体是否与较严格的BD标准所识别出的相同。所有报告在30岁之前有多种无法解释的身体问题的女性精神科门诊患者都被纳入了该研究。794名患者中有85名(10.7%)符合这些筛查标准。在这85名患者中,41名同时患有SD和BD。36名患者两种障碍都没有。结果表明,DSM - III的SD标准在识别BD患者方面同样有效,但应用起来耗时少得多且不那么繁琐。
