When Beginning Treatment with Those Who Have Somatic Symptom Disorder

When beginning treatment with those who have somatic symptom disorder, a recommended strategy for therapists is to:

A) Emphasize that medical professionals have not been able to find the cause of their symptoms or pain.
B) Confront them about their distorted beliefs about physical symptoms.
C) Accept the clients' perceptions of physical complaints as something they genuinely experience.
D) Self-disclose about similar physical symptoms or pain that the therapist has experienced.
