title: [Somatic complains, psychiatric disorders and MMPI 2].
abstract: Somatic complaints are a frequent motive of medical consulting. They are often linked to an underlying psychiatric disorder and may be its only manifestation, and thus may cause misdiagnosis. Links between somatic complaint and the main psychiatric disorders (depression, personality disorders and psychosis) are studied among a sixty-six psychiatric patients sample who answered the 567 questions of the latest Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI 2). Correspondence between clinical diagnosis and MMPI 2 self-evaluation is also studied.
