Résumé

The purpose of this article was to raise awareness of an under-recognized but well-supported treatment for Functional Neurological Disorders (FND) termed Intensive Short-term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP). There has been significant interest in the role of psychological mechanisms in FND onset and maintenance with specific evidence for maladaptive emotional processing. We outline how this supports the theoretical basis for ISTDP as an option in FND treatment and undertake a literature review of the current evidence base. We describe the application of ISTDP to FND illustrated through direct therapy transcripts. We conclude with reflections on the strengths and limitations of ISTDP as well as recommendations regarding future research.
