本研究的目的是确定Ferenczi和Purves-Stewart的观察结果，即转换反应发生在身体左侧的频率高于右侧。右利手和左利手患者出现左侧症状（无力或瘫痪;感觉丧失或麻木）的比例均高于偶然预期，表明单侧转换症状最常发生在身体最“方便”（非优势）一侧的假设缺乏支持。这些研究结果和以前的报告左侧偏侧的心因性疼痛解释为支持的假设，即大脑右半球是特别参与调解的情感或动机决定的躯体症状。提出了这些结果与右半球疾病的某些症状之间可能存在联系的问题。
The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether the observation of Ferenczi and Purves-Stewart that conversion reactions occur with higher frequency on the left side of the body than on the right side could be confirmed. Both right-handed and left-handed patients experienced a higher proportion of left-sided symptoms (weakness or paralysis; sensory loss or numbness) than would be expected by chance, indicating a lack of support for the hypothesis that unilateral conversion symptoms occur most frequently on the most “convenient” (nondominant) side of the body. These findings and prior reports of left-sided lateralization of psychogenic pain were interpreted as support for the hypothesis that the right cerebral hemisphere is particularly involved in the mediation of affectively or motivationally determined somatic symptoms. The question of a possible link between these results and certain symptoms of disease of the right hemisphere was raised.
