Perspectives Views
The DSM 5 states that there must be a "Consistent, overwhelming early childhood trauma, maintaining a degree of terror in the brain
of a young child throughout infancy, and also existing in another patterned early "childhood developmental stage" is required before dissociative identity disorder can fully engage. "
This basically means that the traumatic event must have been continuous throughout childhood in order for the patient to be correctly diagnosed with DID or Dissociative Identity Disorder.
Dissociative Disorders
- Behavioral: The person's environment caused the traumatic event that led to the developing of DID
-Humanistic: This person failed to reach their self-actualization state, and as a result, they developed DID
-Biomedical: This person must have had some sort of genetic mutation to account for the development of DID
-Psychoanalytic: The person's unconcious thoughts drove them to develop DID
-Cognitive: this person's way of thinking influenced the development of DID
-Sociocultural: They are seen as abnormal by the rest of society; dysfunctional societal views, this caused them to develop DID.
Dissociative Disorders
The most common dissociative disorder is what used to be called Multiple Personality Disorder, and is now called Dissociative Identity Disorder.
There are 3 types of dissociative disorders
1. dissociative amnesia- a difficulty in remembering information about yourself.
2.depersonalization disorder- when you feel as if you are watching yourself do something.
3. Dissociative Identity Disorder- you deal with multiple voices in your head, and experience multiple personalities.
A dissociative disorder is by definition a disorder in which there is a lack of connection between thoughts or actions, memory and your sense of identity.
- About 1/3 of people say that they have experienced mild or transient dissociation (i.e getting lost in a book)
