De rol van verwachtingen en vermijdingsleren bij de instandhouding van somatische symptomen
Somatische symptomen, zoals pijn, jeuk en vermoeidheid, blijken in twee richtingen samen te hangen met psychische symptomen. Hoewel acute somatische symptomen bepaalde adaptieve eigenschappen hebben, kunnen chronische symptomen in plaats daarvan leiden tot verstoring van dagelijkse activiteiten en vermindering…
