Abstract

During 10 years between December 1988 and November 1998, 132 children with psychosomatic diseases (including school refusal in 41 cases, irritable colon syndrome in 17, anorexia nervosa in 21, enuresis, enkopresis and nocturia in 15 and other psychosomatic diseases in 38) were seen at the Department of Pediatrics, Nagoya National Hospital and underwent brief therapy. The results obtained after the brief therapy showed complete recovery in 74 cases (56.1%), improvement in 47 (35.6%), no change in 5 (3.8%) and drop-out in 6 (4.5%). The total number of therapeutic sessions was 578 and the mean of sessions per each case was 4.4. Our methods for the brief therapy applied to these children are described in detail in this report by giving 3 cases of representative examples.
