Attachment State of Mind and complex traumatization in patients with Functional Motor Disorder (Motor Conversion Disorder)
Using a gold-standard instrument for evaluating Attachment SoM, we found that FMD patients had a significantly higher prevalence of Insecure SoM and childhood traumatic unresolved events compared to HC, supporting previous literature assessing FMD Attachment Styles through self-report questionnaires. We discuss the potential pathophysiological, neurobiological, and therapeutic implications of our findings.
