| contents | A Case Study Illustrating the Interplay Between Psychological and Somatic Dissociation Alfonso Martínez-Taboas Psicología Psychopathology conversion disorder psychogenic amnesia dissociative disorder The concept of Dissociation was originally conceived as having a psychological and a somatic component.Nevertheless, recent versions of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV)have isolated both elements. In the DSM the psychological manifestation of dissociation is diagnosed as aDissociative Disorder and the somatic domain is diagnosed as a Somatoform Disorder. However, recentempirical and clinical evidence have been highlighting and corroborating a high degree of comorbidity betweensuch disorders and a constant interplay between somatic and psychological dissociation. In the following casestudy, the clinical constellation of the patient nicely illustrates that her dissociative defenses began as a ConversionDisorder and how, after a mishandling of the case by a clinician, her dissociation symptoms were instantlytransformed in a typical Dissociative Amnesia Disorder. Cases like this convincingly illustrate how the dissociativedefenses not only subsume the mental but also extend to the bodily domain. 2004 artículo científico 0034-9690 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=28438113 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=284 Revista Interamericana de Psicología/Interamerican Journal of Psychology application/pdf Sociedad Interamericana de Psicología Revista Interamericana de Psicología/Interamerican Journal of Psychology (Puerto Rico) Num.1 Vol.38 |
