The aims of this course are to teach the basic statistical approach and terminology, to teach the use of the SPSS for Windows package<br />
program and its basic characteristics and principals, to perform the basic descriptive and analytical statistics by using SPSS for Windows<br />
package program and to interpret the results.<br />
At the end of the course, the participants will be able to perform descriptive statistics, select the appropriate statistical tests to compare<br />
differences between or within groups and be able to draw some graphics by using the SPSS for Windows package program in a datasheet<br />
which is composed by the course director.<br />
The participants, upon completion of this course, will be able to generate and test hypotheses, compose a datasheet iusing the SPSS for Windows<br />
program, enter data in the datasheet, transform the data to other forms, select the appropriate statistical test for comparison of groups and computation<br />
of basic statistics, interpret and write the results, interpret the p value and confidence interval, and draw some graphs by using the SPSS program.<br />
The participants will learn to calculate mean, median, mode, standard deviation, quartiles, frequency and percents as descriptive statistics.<br />
They will learn and differentiate categorical, ordinal, and continuous variables by studying examples. To compare categorical variables, the<br />
use of the chi-square test and interpretation of the results will be discussed. For continuous variables, the appropriate test will be determined<br />
with respect to group numbers, whether groups are dependent or independent and whether the variables are parametric or nonparametric.<br />
According to the existing conditions, the participants will decide when they should use the independent samples t test, ANOVA, paired samples<br />
t test, or repeated measures of ANOVA as parametric tests and Mann Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis, Wilcoxon ranked signs test, or Friedman test<br />
as a nonparametric tests. They will also use correlation analysis to determine the linear association between continuous and ordinal variables.<br />
By using the SPSS program, participants will compose bar and pie graphs for nominal and box plot graphs for continuous variables to<br />
demonstrate the results.<br />
Key words: descriptive statistics, p value, confidence interval<br />

Despite a high prevalence of somatic symptoms without demonstrable organic cause in nearly every branch of medicine, understanding,<br />
classification and treatment of these disorders have posed a considerable challenge.<br />
As the DSM-V is in development, the proposed changes in comparison to the DSM-IV can be seen to reflect the current understanding of<br />
non-organic physical symptoms. It is likely that somatization disorder, hypochondriasis, undifferentiated somatoform disorder and pain<br />
disorder will be combined into a new category entitled “Complex Somatic Symptom Disorder” (CSSD) which emphasizes the symptoms<br />
plus the patients’ abnormal cognitive processes. The term “complex” is intended to indicate that the symptoms must be persistent and<br />
must include both somatic symptoms (criterion A) as well as dysfunctional cognitive processes (criterion B) for the diagnosis to be made.<br />
Cognitive processes such as dysfunctional attention focusing, symptom catastrophizing, and symptom expectation that may be included<br />
in criterion B also show the influence cognitive models have exercised in the understanding of these disorders.<br />
These cognitive processes have to be evaluated against the background of possible psychiatric comorbidities, current life stressors,<br />
possible past traumatic events and learning experiences that shaped emotion regulation in an unhelpful way. Contributing to the<br />
maintenance of symptoms and resulting from dysfunctional cognitions are behaviours such as imbalanced level of activity, avoidance<br />
and safety-seeking and reassurance-seeking behaviors.<br />
