Steven Jay Lynn, Craig P. Polizzi, Scott Owen Lilienfeld

Abstract

Dissociative disorders are conditions marked by discontinuities in the normal integration of consciousness, memory, identity, emotion, perception, body representation, motor control, and behavior. Dissociative disorders include dissociative amnesia, depersonalization/derealization disorder, and dissociative identity disorder. This entry reviews the prevalence, etiology, co-morbidity, and assessment of dissociative disorders in the context of research and theory regarding these perplexing and controversial conditions.
