title: Ganser symptoms, dissociation, and dysprosody.
abstract: Approximate answers (vorbeireden) are considered pathognomonic of the Ganser syndrome. Controversy has always surrounded the nosological status of this syndrome. Its recent inclusion in the DSM-III-R as a dissociative disorder is supported by this case report. The association of approximate answers, psychogenic amnesia, and dysprosody is reported here for the first time.
