Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main purpose of the study is to conduct an initial feasibility evaluation of the new Internet-based EAET treatment manual. We will include 50 patients with somatic symptom disorder to take part of the treatment for nine weeks through the Internet. A within-subject design will be used. Self-report measures of symptom level and mechanisms of change will be conducted weekly. Feedback on content, process and potential caveats will be collected using surveys and written evaluations from the participants at post-treatment. Linear mixed models will be used to investigate trajectories of change in symptoms and processes.
