Résumé
Cet article examine le chevauchement important qui existe au niveau phénoménologique, entre les symptômes dissociatifs et psychotiques. De plus, l’étiologie traumatique, reconnue dans les troubles dissociatifs, semble de plus en plus considérée dans les cas de psychoses. Ces similitudes créent une confusion dans les milieux cliniques avec des répercussions importantes pour les personnes souffrant de ces troubles. En effet, les difficultés rencontrées lors du diagnostic différentiel peuvent résulter soit en un mauvais diagnostic, soit en une comorbidité indétectée. Certains auteurs vont plus loin et postulent qu’il existe un sous-type de schizophrénie dont la dissociation est sous-jacente à l’expression des symptômes psychotiques.
Abstract
On a phenomenological level, there’s an important overlap between dissociative and psychotic symptoms. Furthermore, traumatic etiology, recognized in dissociative disorders, is also increasingly considered in psychosis. These similarities create confusion in clinical settings with important repercussions for individuals suffering from these disorders. Indeed, difficulties encountered in differential diagnoses could result in an erroneous diagnosis or in an undetected comorbidity. Some authors are going further in suggesting that there is a sub-type of schizophrenia having dissociation behind the expression of psychotic symptoms.
Resumen
A nivel fenomenológico existe una imbricación importante entre los síntomas disociativos y psicóticos. Además, la etiología traumática reconocida en los trastornos disociativos parece ser cada vez más considerada en los casos de psicosis. Estas similitudes crean una confusión en los medios clínicos con repercusiones importantes para las personas que sufren de estos trastornos. De hecho, las dificultades encontradas durante el diagnóstico diferencial pueden resultar ya sea en un diagnóstico incorrecto o en una comorbilidad no detectada. Algunos autores van más allá y proponen que existe un subtipo de esquizofrenia con disociación subyacente a la expresión de los síntomas psicóticos.
