[Sequence of a trance: psychopathological disorders following religious experiences].
The more frequent psychopathological alteration after religious experiences are the dissociative disorders and trance. It's not frequent to see this clinic in private practice or hospitals in Buenos Aires. To do this revision we went to religious sites where the trance and possession status are frequent, in order to observe their clinic and the methods to induce them. We made a bibliographic revision about trance.


CONCLUSIONS
In Buenos Aires city the dissociative disorders and the trance are less diagnosed than in other sites. The trances that we saw were totally induced.
