Abstract

Treatment for PNES must be individualized. A combination of approaches is probably the most beneficial for improvement. Treatment should not simply emphasize removing maladaptive PNES behaviour, but should also focus on learning new coping skills and removing secondary gains. If PNES persist, therapy should be re-evaluated.
