SESSION TWO; READING

Read the following passage and answer the questions below.

Dissociative identity disorder (DID), also known as multiple personality
disorder (MPD), is a mental disordercharacterized by at least two distinct and relatively
enduring identities or dissociated personality states. These states alternately show in a
person's behavior, accompanied by memory impairment for important information not
explained by ordinary forgetfulness. These symptoms are not accounted for by substance
abuse, seizures, or other medical conditions, nor by imaginative play in children. Dissociative
symptoms range from common lapses in attention, becoming distracted by something else,
and daydreaming, to pathological dissociative disorders. Symptoms vary over time.

Dissociative disorders have been attributed to disruptions in memory caused

by trauma or other forms of stress. Research into this hypothesis has been characterized by
poor methodology. An alternative hypothesis is that it is a by-product of techniques
employed by some therapists, especially those using hypnosis, and disagreement between
the two positions is characterized by intense debate. DID is one of the most controversial
psychiatric disorders, with no clear consensus on diagnostic criteria or treatment. No clear
definition of "dissociation" exists.

It is generally believed that DID rarely resolves spontaneously. In general, the

prognosis is poor, especially for those with comorbid disorders. There is little systematic data
on rates of the condition. It is believed to affect between 1% and 3% of the general
population, and between 1% and 5% in inpatient groups in Europe and North America. DID
is diagnosed more frequently in North America than in the rest of the world, and is diagnosed
three to nine times more often in females than in males. Rates of diagnoses increased
greatly in the latter half of the 20th century, along with the number of identities (often referred
to as "alters") claimed by people (increasing from an average of two or three to
approximately 16).

DID is also controversial within the legal system, where it has been used as a rarely
successful form of the insanity defense. The 1990s showed a parallel increase in the
number of court cases involving the diagnosis. DID became a popular diagnosis in the
1970s, '80s, and '90s, but it is unclear whether the actual rate of the disorder increased,
whether it was more recognized by health care providers, or whether sociocultural factors
caused an increase in therapy-induced (iatrogenic) presentations. The unusual number of
diagnoses after 1980, clustered around a small number of clinicians, and the suggestibility
characteristic of those with DID, support the hypothesis that DID is therapist-induced. The
unusual clustering of diagnoses has also been explained as due to a lack of awareness and
training among clinicians to recognize cases of DID.
