The article presents the difficulties of the psychiatric consultation with patients having somatic complaints. A model of evaluation and intervention is proposed in which the link between the somatic complaint and the doctor-patient relationship is emphasized. A closer look at the manifest request for consultation often leads to interpreting the consultation as a symptom of the patient's relationship to his doctor. The consultation is often a confrontation with the hidden conflict of the patient embedded in his symptom, but actualized with his referring doctor. The focus is on the patient as the agent of his trouble. A clinical vignette is presented.

Comparisons on 19 demographic variables were made among 81 undergraduates who had made a suicide attempt, 81 “psychiatric” controls, and 81 “normal” controls, all matched for sex and academic status. In addition, a representative sample of 23 suicide attempters was compared with 23 matched “psychiatric” and 23 matched “normal” controls on four psychological and four psychotherapy expectancy scales. Results supported the hypotheses that the suicide attempters would show significantly more depression, somatic complaint, and social isolation than the “normal” students. Analyses failed to yield consistent differences between the suicide attempters and matched “psychiatric” controls. Implications for suicide prevention are discussed.

It is widely proven that being physically active and avoiding sedentary behaviour help to improve adolescents’ well-being and keep them in better health in general. We aimed to investigate the relationship between modes of transport to school and subjective complaints among schoolchildren. Analyses were based on the HBSC (Health Behaviour in School-aged Children) surveys conducted in 2017/18 in nine countries (N = 55,607; mean age 13.43 ± 1.64 yrs.). The main outcome showed that health complaints consisted of somatic and psychological complaints. Transport to school was characterized by mode of getting there (walking, biking, or another passive mode). A total of 46.1% of students walked and 7.3% cycled to school; 46.6% commuted by passive means. Biking to school was more frequent in Denmark (37.9%), Norway (26.5%), and Germany (26.6%). The multivariate generalized linear model adjusted for age, gender, country, and school proximity showed that biking to school is protective against reports of health complaints. The beta parameters were equal to −0.498 (p < 0.001) for the general HBSC-SCL index, −0.208 (p < 0.001) for the somatic complaint index, and −0.285 (p < 0.001) for the psychological complaints index. Young people who actively commute to school are less likely to report health complaints, especially psychological symptoms.
