  • Title: Aversive behavior therapy for chronic stomach pain: a case study.
    Author: Legalos CN.
    Journal: Pain; 1977 Oct; 4(1):67-72. PubMed ID: 927882.
    Abstract:
    A combined behavioral-psychodynamic treatment for severe, chronic stomach pain has been presented. In the case discussed, neither psychotherapy nor behavior therapy alone was successful in dealing with the patient's somatized depression. Aversive conditioning was credited with eliminating verbal report of pain and subjective sensation of chronic gastric pain. Simultaneous with the reduction in pain, however, the patient became increasingly depressed. Analytically oriented psychotherapy was instrumental in resolving the depression.
