A young woman who would repeatedly experience the smell of burning incense (when in reality none burnt)
1. It was nearing the end of a busy OPD, when 27-year-old Radha was brought for consultation, accompanied by her husband and mother-in-law. They all looked anxious.

2. Radha married Raj a year ago. All went well until three months after marriage and the family was very happy.
One day at 11 PM, Radha started complaining that someone is burning incense at home, when all were actually sleeping. They considered it a dream & asked her to sleep.

3. These episodes increased in frequency and occurred 3-4 times every week. She would complain of burning incense smell at different times of day or night, and these symptoms would last only a few minutes.
Her family thought it's a God's message to her to pray with more devotion

Integrative model of #psychopathology - bridging the gap b/t categories & dimensions:

Two broad categories of functioning - (a) self-regulation and (b) attachment - with sub-facets that covary in specific patterns representing pathological syndromes with a categorical quality.

(A) Self-regulation
A1. defense styles
A2. coping skills
A3. Emotional functioning
A4. Self-control skills

(B) Attachment
B1. Attachment style
B2. Interpersonal Patterns
B3. Object-relations

Need to add other dimensions tbh. TBC.

Actually that’s all
