Dissociative disorders are so-called because they are marked by a dissociation from or interruption of a person's fundamental aspects of waking consciousness (such as one's personal identity, one's personal history, etc.). Dissociative disorders come in many forms, the most famous of which is dissociative identity disorder (formerly known as multiple personality disorder). All of the dissociative disorders are thought to stem from trauma experienced by the individual with this disorder. The dissociative aspect is thought to be a coping mechanism the person literally dissociates himself from a situation or experience too traumatic to integrate with his conscious self. Symptoms of these disorders, or even one or more of the disorders themselves, are also seen in a number of other mental illnesses, including post-traumatic stress disorder, panic disorder, and obsessive compulsive disorder. Dissociative amnesia: This disorder is characterized by a blocking out of critical personal information, usually of a traumatic or stressful nature. Dissociative amnesia, unlike other types of amnesia, does not result from other medical trauma (e.g. a blow to the head). Dissociative amnesia has several subtypes: Localized amnesia is present in an individual who has no memory of specific events that took place, usually traumatic. The loss of memory is localized with a specific window of time. For example, a survivor of a car wreck who has no memory of the experience until two days later is experiencing localized amnesia.

Main Search Index Definition Description Causes ... Resources Dissociative disorders Definition The dissociative disorders are a group of mental disorders that were first classified separately in the third edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders DSM-III ) in 1980. DSM-IV (1994) defines the distinctive feature of dissociation as "... a disruption in the usually integrated functions of consciousness, memory, identity, or perception of the environment." All dissociative disorders are defined as causing significant interference with the patient's general functioning, including social relationships and employment. Description In order to have a clear picture of these disorders, the reader should first understand dissociation. Dissociation is a mechanism that allows the mind to separate or compartmentalize certain memories or thoughts from normal consciousness. These split-off mental contents are not erased. They may resurface spontaneously or be triggered by objects or events in the person's environment. Dissociation is a process that occurs along a spectrum of severity. It does not necessarily mean that a person has a dissociative disorder or other mental illness. A mild degree of dissociation occurs with some physical stressors; people who have gone without sleep for a long period of time, have had "laughing gas" for dental surgery, or have been in a minor accident often have brief dissociative experiences. Another commonplace example of dissociation is a person becoming involved in a book or movie so completely that the surroundings or the passage of time are not noticed. Another example might be driving on the highway and taking several exits without noticing or remembering. Dissociation is related to

Depersonalization and Dissociation Research Program The depersonalization and dissociation research program is dedicated to studying the phenomenology, etiology and treatment of dissociative disorders, primarily depersonalization disorder. The program has an interdisciplinary approach to the study of depersonalization, and includes descriptive, biological, neuropsychological and treatment studies. Diagnosis and Assessment Participants in our studies receive an extensive initial evaluation involving diagnostic and neuropsychological assessments, as well as reviewing background and history that are combined to confirm the patient's diagnostic and current functional status. We are also studying different diagnostic tools to assess depersonalization disorder. Phenomenology and Etiology We are collecting data in an ongoing way about the different phenomenological aspects of the syndrome of depersonalization, including variations in symptomatology, types of onset, factors alleviating and exacerbating the symptoms, co-morbid disorders and course of treatments. Medication Treatment Studies The Program offers pharmacological treatment trials. Preliminary data suggest that some patients do improve with pharmacological treatment of depersonalization. The results of these studies will hopefully help us find an effective pharmacological treatment for this serious and chronic illness for which there is currently no approved treatment choice.

Understanding the Dissociative Disorders UNDERSTANDING THE DISSOCIATIVE DISORDERS © Marlene Steinberg, M.D., 2003 Introduction Dissociation is a common defense/reaction to stressful or traumatic situations. Severe isolated traumas or repeated traumas may result in a person developing a dissociative disorder. A dissociative disorder impairs the normal state of awareness and limits or alters one's sense of identity, memory or consciousness. Once considered rare, recent research indicated that individuals with dissociative disorders are frequently misdiagnosed for many years, delaying effective treatment. What kind of events or experiences are likely to cause symptoms of dissociation? There are various types of traumas. There are traumas within one's home, either emotional, physical or sexual abuse. Other types of traumas include natural disasters, such as earthquakes, political traumas such as holocausts, hostage situations, wars, random acts of violence (such as the Oklahoma city bombing and the Columbine shootings), or the grief we feel after the death of a family member or loved one. In recent years, there has been an increase in scientific research on the diagnosis and treatment of dissociative disorders. New screening tools such as the Dissociative Experience Scale and diagnostic tools such as the
