Abstract
Young people with conversion disorders require a different treatment approach compared with those who have organic illness. This paper describes a team approach which is based on detailed assessment, explanation of the vicious cycle, accepting the patient's symptoms, working towards achievable goals, encouraging bravery, rewarding 'wellness' behaviour, ignoring abnormal behaviour and supervising re-integration into school.Entities:
