CURRENT CHALLENGES AND FUTURE
DIRECTIONS
The psychiatric management of children with
somatization and somatoform disorders can be
hampered by reluctance by families to entertain a
psychosocial contribution to children’s symptoms.
Hence good liaison between paediatric and
psychiatric services is of the essence, and this will
be facilitated by further development of paediatric
liaison psychiatric teams. Future research into
physical and psychological vulnerabilities and into
efficacious treatment strategies is called for.
