- A study analyzed social cognition and personality organization (PO) levels in 163 patients with severe somatoform disorders (SFDs) and 151 psychiatric control patients (PSA).
- The findings showed that while SFD patients had issues with cognitive aspects of social cognition, these were not worse than those in the PSA controls.
- SFD patients also displayed lower emotional investment in social interactions but higher emotional tone compared to the PSA group, suggesting that emotional investment impairments may be unique to SFD cases.
