The `Multiplex Model' of Somatic Symptoms
Somatic symptoms are a common clinical presentation of distress among ethnic populations in the USA, particularly traumatized refugees. In this article, we apply a `multiplex model' of bodily experience to explain how a somatic symptom is evoked, amplified, and generates distress, particularly distress related to post-traumatic stress disorder. We illustrate the multiplex model's applicability to acute episodes of tinnitus (i.e., a buzzing-like s…
Hit by the Wind' and Temperature-Shift Panic among Vietnamese Refugees
Surveying 60 Vietnamese patients with either current or past post-traumatic stress disorder, this article aims to phenomenologically characterize the syndrome of `hit by the wind' in a multidimensional manner.

Eighteen of the 60 patients (30%) suffered at least one…

Ma…
