Abstract
This article provides the physician with an efficient and comprehensive method for the evaluation and management of adolescent psychosomatic symptoms in the medical care setting. The physician should make a firm statement of the nonorganic nature of the psychosomatic symptom, identify significant stressors, and provide strong recommendations for immediate action. Appropriate referrals should be arranged, and a follow-up visit to assess progress several weeks after the evaluation should be scheduled.
