Pseudología Fantastica as a Manifestation of a Pathological Personality Organization: A Case Report

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Introduction: Pseudologia fantastica is a concept that has been relegated to the history books about psychopathology, which is sparely used nowadays because it is not included in any nosological category. Discussion: A clinical case is presented to serve as an invitation to think about its genesis and to search for a model of understanding that explains it. Since the current diagnostic categories are insufficient to explain this phenomenon, we used the psychodynamic model proposed by Otto Kernberg and collaborators about personality organizations from the structural point of view. Conclusion: It is important to widen the comprehension of the personality functioning, through different nosologic models to understand the diverse manifestations related to this group of disorders.
