1.0 out of 5 stars
Inaccurate, December 10, 2011
This review is from: Psychiatry in Society (Hardcover)
Incorrectly categorizes ME ("CFS"), Fibromyalgia and Lyme Disease as somatization. Pls see ME International Consensus Criteria, 2011, for accurate information.
from p.7:
"Chronic brucellosis is not a disease, but a pattern of illness behavior, triggered by an acute infection in a psychologically predisposed individual, an illness pattern reinforced by medical labeling that crystallizes distress by sanctioning it as a biological entity.
With chronic brucellosis largely controlled by public health measures, it disappeared from the medical scene in the USA. But it was soon replaced by new idioms of distress: chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia and chronic Lyme disease."
