Study Notes

Understanding Dissociative Disorders: Symptoms, Theories, and Treatments

Dissociation refers to a disruption in the normal integration of consciousness, memory, identity, and perception of the environment.
Depersonalization involves feeling detached or disconnected from oneself, while derealization involves feeling detached or disconnected from the environment.
Episodic memory refers to memory of specific events or experiences, while semantic memory refers to memory of facts or knowledge.
Subpersonalities or alters refer to distinct personality states that may exist within the same individual with dissociative identity disorder (DID).
Dissociative amnesia involves the inability to recall important personal information, usually related to a traumatic or stressful event.
Dissociative fugue involves sudden travel away from home or work, with inability to recall one's past, and assuming a new identity.
Depersonalization/Derealization Disorder involves persistent or recurrent episodes of depersonalization and/or derealization, causing distress or impairment.
DID involves the presence of two or more distinct personality states, accompanied by amnesia between them, causing distress or impairment.
There is some evidence of structural and functional brain differences between individuals with DID and those without.
Etiological theories for dissociative disorders include abuse history theory, psychodynamic theory, behavioral theory, socio-cognitive theory, state-dependent learning theory, and self-hypnosis theory.
Treatments for dissociative disorders include psychodynamic therapy, hypnosis, medication, and integration of alters for DID.
Prevalence rates of dissociative disorders vary widely depending on the population studied and the definition used, but estimates suggest that they are relatively rare.
