Individuals with DD often report feeling as if in a waking dream or a movie and may also experience derealization (the sense that the external world is unreal or strange). DD is not a psychotic condition, though individuals with DD often worry about this. Unfortunately, there is very little rigorously designed research on the pharmacologic treatment of depersonalization disorder (DD). overview reviews resources Buy one James Bond DVD for £15.99 and get one free!

MPD and DISSOCIATIVE DISORDERS Fr J Mahoney (This was written before DSM IV and the name change to "DID" and was used to orient hospital personnel to the Dissociative Disorders) THE PROCESS OF DISSOCIATION Dissociation can be described as a common process of psychologically "separating" from some aspect of a human experience. Behavior, affect, sensations, or knowledge of the event can be "distanced" during the actual experience. Dissociation may be experienced when performing a well-known task (such as driving a familiar route) or going through an emotional trauma (such as feeling "numbed" when confronted by tragedy.) Dissociative Disorders occur when the process of dissociation is chronic or severe enough to interfere with a person's ability to live their life. When a person's consciousness, sense of identity, or behavior are found to be seriously disrupted, they may be entering the range of the continuum of dissociation where a disorder is present. THE DISSOCIATIVE DISORDERS The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM III-R) lists 4 Dissociative Disorders: (1) psychogenic amnesia; (2) psychogenic fugue; (3) depersonalization disorder: and (4) multiple personality. In addition, there is a catch-all category covering atypical dissociative presentations.

Prognosis: Prognosis is extremely good. Dissociative Fugue Etiology: This disorder is very rare and occurs most often during extreme stress (such as wartime or after a natural disaster). Symptomatology: The primary feature of this disorder is abrupt travel away from home, an inability to remember important aspects of one’s life, and the partial or complete adoption of a new identity. Treatment: The disorder typically dissipates on its own and it is extremely rare to last more than one month.

Repression . Repression is a motivated forgetting in order to prevent painful or dangerous thoughts from entering consciousness. In psychoanalytic theory, these repressed memories, ideas, or impulses, may have considerable psychic energy attached to them, and so they may stir up powerful dreams or drive (motivate) behaviour in a way that is understandable only to someone who may have an inkling as to the conflict, event, or "thing" (for a better word) which has been repressed. Dissociation . Dissociation can be described as a structured separation of mental processes that are ordinarily integrated in and accessible to conscious awareness. The idea of dissociated memories means that the memories have been split away from awareness. Dissociated memories are not banished to the unconscious, but are separated from the normal integrative functions of the ego, and still exist in the preconscious. Dissociative Disorders Dissociative Amnesia localized selective generalized continuous Dissociative Fugue In dissociative fugue, a person experiences a loss of memory for past events, travels suddenly away from home or work, and takes on a new identity. The person may either not remember the past, or fill it in with bogus memories (confabulation).

Encyclopedia Index D Home Encyclopedia Encyclopedia Index D Dissociative disorders Definition The dissociative disorders are a group of mental disorders that affect consciousness 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, dissociation should first be understood. 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 hypnosis in that hypnotic trance also involves a temporarily altered state of consciousness. Most patients with dissociative disorders are highly hypnotizable.
