Illness-Promoting Psychological Processes in Children and Adolescents with Functional Neurological Disorder

In children with FND—disabled enough to be admitted for inpatient treatment—illness-promoting psychological processes contribute to the child’s ongoing sense of subjective distress, and if not addressed can maintain the illness process.

The Utility (or Not) of Self-Report Instruments in Family Assessment for Child and Adolescent Conversion Disorders?

It is suggested that children and adolescents presenting with functional somatic symptoms represent a distinctive clinical population for which the ‘psychological’ focus of most currently available questionnaires is not useful for identifying the presence of somatic illness or of comorbid anxiety and depression, and that these measures are not a useful adjunct to a family-based assessment.

Emotional Dysregulation and Temperament-Character Traits in Adolescents With Functional Neurological Symptom Disorder (Conversion Disorder)

It is shown that adolescents with FNSD experience emotional dysregulation and that the differential value of some temperament-character traits in the diagnosis of FNSD is different from healthy controls.

Emotion regulation strategies in trauma-related disorders: pathways linking neurobiology and clinical manifestations

The present review has sought to link neurobiology findings concerning cortico-limbic function to the field of emotion regulation and found that trauma-related disorders have been placed in a continuum between under- and over-regulation of affect strategies.

Conversion disorder in children and adolescents: a disorder of cognitive control.

Children and adolescents with acute conversion symptoms have a reduced capacity to manipulate and retain information, to block interfering information, and to inhibit responses, all of which are required for effective attention, executive function, and memory.

Specific Biases for Identifying Facial Expression of Emotion in Children and Adolescents With Conversion Disorders

The observation of faster reaction times to sad faces in children and adolescents with conversion disorders suggests increased vigilance and motor readiness to emotional signals that are potential threats to self or to close others before conscious processing.

The findings indicate that school-aged children with SSD and DBD have higher rates of insecure and disorganized attachment.

Comparing models of borderline personality disorder: Mothers’ experience, self-protective strategies, and dispositional representations

It is found that mothers with BPD recalled more danger, reported more negative effects of danger, and gave evidence of more unresolved psychological trauma tied to danger than other mothers and proposed that the DMM offers greater clinical utility, conceptual coherence, empirical validity, and coder reliability than the M&G.

It is demonstrated that the detailed discourse analysis of the AAI, based on transcribed tape‐recorded interviews, focuses subtle formal elements of language and speech reflecting dominant patterns of affect regulation and object relating.

The Levels of Emotional Awareness Scale: a cognitive-developmental measure of emotion.

The LEAS correlated positively with openness to experience and emotional range but not with measures of specific emotions, repression or the number of words used in the LEAS responses, suggesting that it is the level of emotion, not the specific quality of emotions, that is tapped by the LE AS.
