Meaning, Misinterpretations, and Medicine: A cognitive Behavioral Approach to Understanding Health Anxiety and Hypochondriasis
Abstract
On an Internet bulletin board, someone reported that ‘‘my psychiatrist has just told me that I am suffering from DSM-IV.” As therapists and researchers working with the problems characterized by severe and persistent health anxiety, we also suffer from DSM-IV (American Psychiatric Association, 1994), not least because it defines health anxiety as the somatoform disorder “Hypochondriasis.” This classification is theoretically misleading, as it diverts attention away from the importance of anxiety and therefore threat, and onto more superficial characteristics of the problem.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
