The attitude ofthe medical practitioners and the psychotherapists was seen as very important, to appreciate the patient and to take seriously what he or she says and wants. But also the social and the political aspects of these illnesses should be considered in the treatment of these patients.Keywords Somatoform disorder; Social exclusion; Attitude of medical practitioners; Empowerment
