The article analyzes the modern approach to hysteria and dissociative (conversion) disorders. The validity of their inclusion in the psychiatric or neurological section of disease classifications is assessed.

From the standpoint of scientific validity, the need for a neurological approach to the diagnosis and treatment of dissociative disorders is discussed.
