Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Functional Abdominal Pain Disorders

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Handbook of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Pediatric Medical Conditions

Part of the book series: Autism and Child Psychopathology Series ((ACPS))

Abstract

Gastrointestinal symptoms are experienced by pediatric patients with a range of chronic illnesses, as well as by children and adolescents who do not have a primary medical diagnosis but are encountered in mental health clinics, schools, and pediatric primary care settings. In particular, functional abdominal pain disorders (irritable bowel syndrome, functional dyspepsia, and functional abdominal pain—not otherwise specified) are common among youth and best understood from a biopsychosocial perspective. This chapter describes the utility of cognitive behavioral case conceptualization and interventions in addressing functional gastrointestinal symptoms and the impact of these symptoms on daily functioning.
