Clinical experience with women in strictly controlled socially inferior positions in Saudi Arabia illustrates how somatic complaints can express emotional problems which have no other outlets. The women are passive and for therapy to succeed an alliance with a male relative is necessary. Measures to combat passivity can be of great benefit.
