Ganser's syndrome

Japanese: ガンザー症候群 - ガンザーしょうこうぐん(英語表記)Ganser's syndrome
Ganser's syndrome
Ganser is also known as a daze. It is a hysterical mental symptom that is often seen as a psychosomatic reaction during detention. When questioned, the patient appears to have grasped the content quite accurately, but responds in an absurd manner, showing symptoms that may be mistaken for dementia. In many cases, it is accompanied by impaired consciousness, hallucinatory confusion, and a dream-like state, but it rarely continues for long periods of time. It is characterized by a blank expression and a weak attitude. It was named after the German psychiatrist S. Ganser (1853-1931), who reported it as a syndrome seen in detained pretrial detainees.

ガンザーもうろう状態ともいう。拘禁下の心因反応としてみられることの多いヒステリー性精神症状をいう。質問を受けた際,内容はかなり正確につかんでいると思われるのに,ばかげた応答をするなど痴呆と見誤るような症状を呈する。多くの場合,意識障害,幻覚性錯乱,夢幻様状態などを伴うが,長期間継続することは少い。ぼんやりした表情と力のない態度が特徴的。ドイツの精神科医 S.ガンザー (1853~1931) が拘禁された未決囚にみられる症候群として報告したので,その名がつけられた。
