Pain of psychological origin
is much discussed and debated.
It is very difficult to separate
from pain of physical origin.
Most pain management centers
now do not entirely separate
pain of physical from pain of
psychological origin but rather
look at the amount each contributes
to the pain experience and work
towards it’s resolution.
When considering pain of psychological
origin, the Diagnostic and Statistical
Manual of the American Psychiatric
Association (4th revision) provides
the following categories.
- somatoform disorders
- somatization disorder
- undifferentiated somatoform
disorder
- conversion disorder
- pain disorder
- hypochondriasis
- body dysmorphic disorder
- somatization disorder,
undifferentiated
pain disorder associated with
psychological factors
pain disorder associated both

a general medical condition
