title: [Illness perception in general practice--in relation to patients with somatization disorder].
abstract: In this paper different perceptions of disease and illness in general practice and possible implications of these perceptions for the GP's clinical work are described and discussed. The focus is on patients with medically unexplained symptoms and on the question whether the illness perception of the GP to some extent can explain the often inappropriate treatment of these patients.
