An 8-year-old boy is brought to his pediatrician by his mother because she is worried about whether he is becoming ill. Specifically, he has been sent home from school six times in the past month because of headaches and abdominal pain. In fact, he has been in the nurse's office almost every day with various symptoms. These symptoms started when the family moved to an old house in another state about 2 months ago. Furthermore, whenever he is taken care of by a babysitter he also has these symptoms. Despite these occurrences, the boy never seems to have any problems at home with his parents. Which of the following treatments would likely be effective for this patient?
