Emotion dysregulation in psychoform and somatoform dissociation: From neurobiology to clinical interventions with EMDR

Both psychoform and somatoform dissociation has been related to early, severe, and chronic traumatization. Somatoform dissociation includes, but it is not limited to conversive disorders. Hyper and hypo-arousal, under and over-controlling strategies in emotion regulation have been described in trauma-related disorders. Different neurobiologic correlates underlying these problems and the recent research in emotion regulation may offer relevant information for a comprehensive decission-making in EMDR therapy of these patients.
