Feedback: An emotional conflict precedes the development of conversion disorder; the conversion disorder relieves that specific emotional conflict. Emotional detachment, emotional support from the family, or identification of anxious feelings are not examples of primary gain in clients diagnosed with conversion disorder. Secondary gains are the internal or personal benefits received from others because one is sick, such as attention from family members.
