Abstract

The interest in the study of hypochondriasis has been increased in the last few years, such as is revealed in the number of publications about the disorder. Subsequently, there has been a remarkable progress in the knowledge of this psychopathological condition, as well in their psychological assessment. This paper includes the main components to be considered to the psychological assessment of hypochondriasis: the guidelines to the assessment interview and the principal measure instruments. Finally, some suggestions for future research about the assessment of hypochondriacal preoccupations are offered.
