Resumen:
The patient´s perspective is essential to understand their condition and to achieve an effective treatment. The objective of this paper is to investigate the therapeutic trajectories and experiences of patients with Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Crisis (PNES) under treatment in a General Hospital of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten patients diagnosed with PNES. For data analysis, a qualitative methodology based on thematic analysis was adopted. A central category has been identified: Therapeutic Itineraries within the Ethnomedical System, and three subcategories: (1) Diagnoses received; (2) Resources of the ethnomedical system; and (3) Evaluation of the resources used. The difficulty of finding a diagnosis, a treatment to improve PNES, and proper medicine were highlighted by all the patients.
