Abstract

Chest pain is regularly encountered in pediatric medical settings and may be associated with many organic diagnoses that vary widely in morbidity and mortality. Patients with chest pain with and without organic disease may also suffer from comorbid, exacerbating, or causal psychopathology. This article provides practical general guidelines for psychological diagnosis and alleviation of emotional and behavioral difficulties. Specific medical conditions that may benefit from psychological consultation are highlighted. Pediatric chest pain, including an analysis of medically unexplained chest pain, is examined from a psychological perspective that includes a critical review of relevant literature and suggestions for the clinical management of this condition.
