Psychosomatic Symptoms Scale: Manual, Normative Data and Questionnaires

The PSS questionnaire is an instrument for assessing somatic symptoms in children, adolescents, and adults. It is intended for participants 10 years of age and older, although its simplicity allows it to be used with younger individuals, especially when used individually. The advantage of the PSS questionnaire is its ease of use and its response system acceptable even for younger children. The PSS can be used in clinical assessment, planning, monitoring and evaluation of psychological treatment and counselling, scientific research, etc. It consists of a list of 35 somatic symptoms from 7 body organ systems (pseudoneurological, cardiovascular, muscular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, dermatological, and pain/weakness) and questions about general health and the experience of painful symptoms, which is consistent with the new criteria and recommendations in the DSM-5 (APA, 2013)
