Improving mental health through body-awareness with dynamic interpersonal therapy in patients with persistent somatic symptoms: an explorative cohort study

This study shows that patients with PSS 1 have lower mental health scores relative to general population norm, 2) seem to have reduced capacity for interoceptive awareness 3) improve in both areas after completing DIT for PSS and 4) shows that improvement in interoceptive awareness was associated with improvement in mental health. Interoception based interventions in DIT-PSS might be a starting point for adequate treatment of PSS.
