      abstract = {Despite the rapid advances in medical science, the  majority of people who visit a doctor have medically  unexplained symptoms (MUS), symptoms that remain a mystery  despite extensive diagnostic studies. The most common MUS  are back pain, abdominal pain, headache, fatigue, and  dizziness. This book addresses the obstacles of managing  people with MUS in our modern day society from both a  historical and contemporary perspective. Most MUS are  psychosomatic in origin, caused by a complex interaction  between nature and nurture, between biological and  psychosocial factors. Psychosomatic symptoms are as real  and as severe as the symptoms associated with structural  damage to the brain. Unique and concise, the book explores  the biological and psychosocial mechanisms, the clinical  features, and current and future treatments of common MUS.  Exploring the unsolved in an accessible manner, Medically  Unexplained Symptoms invokes the methodologies of medical  science, history, and sociology to investigate how brain  flaws can lead to debilitating symptoms.},
