Functional neurological disorder (FND) is the term used (DSM-5) to refer to a disabling neuropsychiatric condition that is frequently encountered in medical practice. It was previously known as conversion disorder (CD) and formerly described as hysteria. It is characterised by neurological symptoms (e.g., weakness, numbness, tremor…) without evidence of any brain lesion. Early neurobiological accounts of this disorder were part of the foundation of psychiatry and neurology, but were then dominated by a purely psychodynamic perspective. The advent of neuroimaging in the past two decades has stimulated renewed interest in the “functional” brain underpinnings of these symptoms, with growing interest and increasing attempts to investigate them in a neuroscience perspective. In this brief review, I discuss recent evidence pointing to how top-down mechanisms may alter motor function in patients with motor FND/CD, through coupling with neural systems associated with internal self-monitoring, emotion regulation and memory, and thus lead to the emergence of functional symptoms. More research, however, is still needed to elucidate the causes of FND/CD (why they occur), in addition to their neuroanatomical substrates (how they occur). Full article

Psychoanalytic understanding of transgenerational transmission. This article first describes the background that led to comprehensive knowledge and systematic exploration of transgenerational transmission, in particular in the fields of psychoanalytic practice and theory formation. At the same time as knowledge was gained from the therapeutic work conducted with descendants of Shoah survivors, our understanding about the transgenerational transmission of attachment patterns improved within attachment theory. This article also discusses different theoretical concepts of traumas that partially emerged from psychoanalytic work with descendants of Shoah survivors, and then focuses on the specific mechanisms and content of the trauma transmission and its consequences. Psychic processes such as scenic transmission, re-enactive transfer and projective identification will be discussed, and then specific aspects of relationships in perpetrators’ families and their transgenerational entanglements will be considered. In conclusion, the generalisability of these findings will be discussed. Full article
