Hysteria, dissociative disorder, histrionic disorderAbstract
Histrionic personality disorder is characterized by selfdramatization, theatricality and exaggerated expression of emotion, emotional lability, and inappropriate, sexually provocative, or seductive behaviors. Dissociative or conversion disorders, in turn, are characterized by partial or complete loss of the normal integration between memories of the past, awareness of identity, immediate sensations, and control of bodily movements. This study reports the case of a 14-year old female adolescent diagnosed with a dissociative disorder. The authors describe patient management and discuss relevant aspects.
