    Somatoforme Störungen im Kindes- und Jugendalter: Analyse einer umstrittenen Störungskategorie aus entwicklungspsychopathologischer Sicht.
    The aim of this dissertation was to analyze the phenomena of somatoform symptoms and somatoform disorders in children and adolescence from a developmental psychopathological point of view. The suitability of the diagnostic criteria of different somatoform disorders according to DSM-IV-TR in classifying children and adolescents who suffer severely from medically unexplained symptoms was analyzed. The suitability of the DSM-IV-TR criteria of somatoform disorders and that of the criteria of the complex somatic symptom disorder, a new diagnostic category proposed by the DSM-V Somatic Symptom Disorders Workgroup to replace some of the somatoform disorders in the DSM-V, were compared. Furthermore, the clinical utility of an alternative diagnostic category, the somatoform adjustment disorder, was evaluated.

    Der Einfluss von Depressivität auf das Fibromyalgiesyndrom eine Metaanalyse
    Fibromyalgia poses a challenge for therapy. Many studies recommend subgrouping based on comorbid symptoms as depression or anxiety. The aim of this cumulative dissertation was to analyze how depressive symptoms affect physical and psychological impairment, coping with disease and rehabilitation outcome among patients with fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia patients with depressive symptoms show more sleep disturbances, sexual dysfunction, loss of physical function level and low quality of life. Furthermore, comorbid depression has a negative impact on coping with disease. Patients with fibromyalgia and comorbid depression show poorer outcomes of multimodal rehabilitation than fibromyalgia patients without depression. For this reason a different treatment plan for fibromyalgia patients with and without depression is recommended.
