Conversion Disorders and Dissociative Disorders - Together They are Strong!

Dissociative and Somatoform Disorders

Neuroimaging and Dissociative Disorders

Although they were for a while “dissociated” (Spiegel, 2006) from the clinical and scientific arena, dissociative disorders have in the last several years received a renewed interest among several groups of researchers, who embarked on the work of identifying and describing their underlying neural correlates. Dissociative disorders are characterized by transient or chronic failures or disruptio...

Together they are Strong: the Quest for Service Modularization parameters

This research-in-progress paper deals with service modularization of complex services. The successful creation of powerful modules allow leveraging modularization benefits such as reuse, faster development, module-wide innovation, and rapid reconfiguration. Consequently, service provider efficiencies as well as user centricity can be realized. Therefore, the principles of modularization, i.e. c...

Neurobiology of dissociative disorders

Recent advances in neurosciences urge us to reconsider the existing links between organic causes and clinical findings of dissociative disorders. The clinical heterogeneity of these disorders is well known. Furthermore, the present neurobiological data are specific to only some dissociative disorders, which question the usefulness of an integrative approach for these data. Several studies sugge...

Dissociative Memory Disorders and Immigration

Studies of immigrant populations have shown that the stresses associated with the process of immigration and acculturation could lead to significant psychological, psychiatric or somatic symptoms. In the current presentation, we review four cases of patients who developed Dissociative Disorders (Dissociative Amnesia and Ganser Syndrome, respectively) on a background of stresses related to immig...
