This is my first time hearing "central sensitization syndrome." I know back ~5 years ago John Sarno's "tension myoneural syndrome" was still the dominant diagnosis in the self-help circles of mindbody illness, and it at least had the mechanism of repression to enrich its explanatory power. Still a far cry from the richness of psychoanalytic theory, but at least it was a move in the right direction after such an epic retreat from Freud. Central sensitization syndrome seems like such a concession to the medical model, which I guess puts it in alignment with the poverty of therapy ("mindfulness," etc.).

Yes, there's a lot of terminology out there to describe this constellation of symptoms/the process of CSS. The sarno stuff is getting a lot more attention these days as "psychopysiologic" therapy. Things are moving in a good direction and I'm hopefull that repression will be characterized neurophysiologically. See the references I posted to another comment.
