A Multidisciplinary Approach to Conversion Disorder with Nonepileptic Seizures: A Case Study

There are several treatment options for conversion disorder, but none have emerged as a treatment of choice. This case report describes one woman’s experiences of conversion disorder and the multidisciplinary and multi-agency care plan developed to meet her needs. It offers reflections from the perspective of staff and the patient herself about which aspects of the treatment were most effective. The study aims to give insight into the benefits and the gaps of the programme. This is a descriptive case study arising from collaboration between client and professionals throughout the period of the care plan. It concludes that the multidisciplinary and multi-agency approach has much to offer in the treatment of conversion disorder.
