Objectives: The histrionic personality disorder (HPD) is characterized by a pattern of excessive emotion and attention-seeking behavior, including a seductive behavior. It is known that HPD is closely related to a somatization disorder. The somatization disorder is characterized with various physical symptoms that have no pathologic manifestation. This report is on a case of 55 years old woman with HPD, who has been suffering from various physical symptoms that are coincided with diagnostic criteria for somatization disorder by DSM-Ⅳ. Methods: The patient was treated with oriental medical treatments (acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping therapy, and herb-medication), hypnotic therapy, and emotional freedom techniques. The effects of treatment were measured by VAS. Results: Chest pain was improved by hypnotic therapy and oriental medical treatments. But the patient`s pantalgia and abdominal discomfort were controlled effectively by emotional freedom techniques. Conclusions: This result suggests that EFT might be effective for the defensive and dependent somatization disorder patient with HPD.
