=== Liaison psychiatry === Boudewijn van Houdenhove was a forerunner of psychosomatic medicine in Belgium in the 1980s and 1990s.<ref>Jannes, S. 2010. Psychosomatische hoogvliegers in de Lage Landen. Een historiek van het psychosomatische gedachtegoed. In: Van Houdenhove, B., Luyten P., Vandenberghe, J. (eds).

Het dualisme voorbij]. Tielt: Lannoo</ref> As a liaison psychiatrist he specialized in the interface between general medicine and psychiatry. Early in his career, he argued that the role of psychiatrists could be more than consultative.<ref name=":11" /> According to Van Houdenhove psychiatrists could play an important coordinating role, for example in the multidsicplinay aprpoach offered to patients with chronic pain. He wrote that: <blockquote> "Liaison psychiatrists can 'emancipate' themselves in this way by stepping out of their - often frustrating, because purely advisory - role and putting into practice their own biopsychosocial diagnostic and therapeutic policy."<ref name=":11">Van Houdenhove B.

His impression was that these patients premorbid life history is characterized by hyperactivity.<ref>{{Cite journal | last = Van Houdenhove | first = B. | date = 1986 | title = Prevalence and psychodynamic interpretation of premorbid hyperactivity in patients with chronic pain | url =https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3588817 | journal = Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics | volume = 45 | issue = 4 | pages = 195–200|doi=10.1159/000287948|issn=0033-3190|pmid=3588817}}</ref> He speculates this to be "symptomatic of underlying, frequently interrelated psychodynamic factors, such as unfulfilled (but overcompensated) dependency needs, excessive bodily narcissism, ‘phallic’ rivalry (in women patients) and masochistic or obsessional traits."<ref>Van Houdenhove B, Stans L, Verstraeten D.
