“Personas altamente sensibles” (PAS) es un libro que se lee fácilmente con una descripción científica de lo que es una High Sensitive Person (HSP). Este libro, basado en investigaciones psicológicas precendentes, busca alertar a la comunidad científica de cómo la alta sensibilidad se ha confundido con la introversión, la inhibición y el neurotismo, entre otros. Lo cierto es que trabajos previos, sobre los cuales se apoya este libro, han permitido a los PAS a comprenderse mejor. Entre los principales rasgos de estas personas están: el procesamiento de la información de manera profunda, la alta sensibilidad, la alta frecuencia con la que se sobresestimulan y la gran capacidad para captar detalles y sutilezas.

This article examines how young people in a Swedish online forum and in blogs engage in discussions of one popularized psychological personality trait, the highly sensitive person (HSP), and how they draw on different positionings in discursive struggles around this category. The material is analysed with concepts from discursive psychology and post-structuralist theory in order to investigate youths’ interactions. The first is a nuanced positioning, from which youths disclose the weaknesses and strengths of being highly sensitive. Some youths become deeply invested in this kind of positioning, hence forming a HSP subjectivity. This can be opposed using contrasting positionings, which objects to norms of biosociality connected to the HSP. Lastly, there are rather distanced and investigative approaches to the HSP category. We conclude that while young people are negotiating the HSP category, they are establishing an epistemological community.

IntroductionThe concept of “highly sensitive person” is a cultural concept, which has become popular in western societies including Sweden. A highly sensitive person (HSP) is usually described as having hypersensitivity to external stimuli, different cognitive processing and high emotional reactivity. Although the concept lacks diagnostic validity, psychiatric patients may refer to this concept.AimsTo examine the feasibility of the Cultural Formulation Interview (CFI) and the clinical relevance of cultural concepts of distress among patients with bipolar disorder that report being a HSP.MethodsA case series of three patients with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder that report HSP. The CFI was conducted with all patients and the applicability of the DSM-5 cultural concepts of distress tested.ResultsIn all three cases, the CFI facilitated the clinical consultation as reported from the patients and in one of the cases also increased the treatment engagement. The HSP-concept could be conceptualized as a cultural syndrome, idiom of distress and as an explanatory model.ConclusionThe CFI and the cultural concepts of distress proved to be useful for understanding the concept of HSP as also they increased the cultural validity of the diagnostic interview. The three cases illustrate the challenges when encountering patients with other cultural references than clinicians. This highlights the necessity to integrate anthropological thinking in our current diagnostic work in order to reduce the “category fallacy” and promote a more person-centered approach in psychiatry.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.
