Patterns of Emotional-Cognitive Functioning in Pediatric Conversion Patients

Abstract: Contrary to the classic understanding of conversion disorder as a unified diagnostic entity with diverse symptoms, this study identified two distinct subtypes of conversion patients-those using psychological inhibition and those using psychological coercion-preoccupation-whose symptoms fell into discrete clusters. Further research is needed to determine the neural mechanisms underlying these processes.

The participants in the present study were a subset of the larger cohort (76 children) enrolled in a broader research program integrating multiple measures of emotional function to study conversion disorder (32).…”

“…Desde otra perspectiva funcional que fomenta una distribución fenomenológica diferencial, una investigación examinó los patrones de procesamiento cognitivo-emocional en el afrontamiento situacional de niños y adolescentes con TC, señalando dos grandes categorías: "inhibición psicológica", asociada a síntomas conversivos negativos (déficits sensorio-motores) y positivos (temblores y tics) y "preocupación-coerción psicológica", vinculada a todas las otras alteraciones motoras (posturas bizarras, flaccidez corporal y oposición cinética). Adicionalmente, una minoría de los sujetos se catalogó con un patrón mixto 22 .…”

“…Lo anterior se fundamenta en la multiplicidad de escenarios médicos en los cuales se presentan estos cuadros, los cuales suelen no detectarse en la práctica clíni-ca cotidiana, siendo consecuentemente tratados errónea e insuficientemente. Actualmente, el reconocimiento de los TS y TC como desórdenes con plataforma traumática 15 , ha adquirido tanta importancia como su interpretación psicodinámica histórica 12,13 , mientras que la evidencia neurobioló-gica sugiere un vínculo etiológico con fenómenos evolutivos y defensivos 21,22,25 . Otras variables que se han relacionado con su aparición apuntan a la dinámica familiar 14 en torno a su funcionalidad 5,29 , al apego 27 , estresores no normativos 28 y características psicopatológicas parentales [30][31][32] .…”
