Abstract:
In 1916, Wimmer described psychogenic psychosis as psychosis secondary to mental trauma. Psychogenic psychoses are currently included in acute and transient psychotic disorders (F23) in the ICD-10 and in the brief psychotic disorders (298,8) in the DSM-IV-TR. We present a case report of psychogenic psychosis in a 39 year-old female and analyze it with the predisposition-trauma mental model.
