The essential feature of Dissociative Identity Disorder is the
presence of two or more distinct identities or personality states
that recurrently take control of behavior. There is an
inability to recall important personal information, the extent of
which is too great to be explained by forgetfulness. The
disturbance is not due to the direct physiological effects of a
substance or a general medical condition. In children, the
symptoms cannot be attributed to the imaginary playmates or other
fantasy play.
Dissociative Identity Disorder
reflects a failure to integrate various aspects of identity, memory,
and consciousness. Each personality state may be experienced
as if it has a distinct personal history, self-image, and identity,
including a separate name. Usually there is a primary identity
that carries the individual's given name and is passive, dependent,
guilty, and depressed. The alternate identities frequently
have different names and characteristics that contrast with the
primary identity (are hostile, controlling, and self-destructive).
Particular identities may emerge in specific circumstances and may
differ in reported age and gender, vocabulary, general knowledge, or
one at the expense of the other, and may deny knowledge of one
another, be critical of one another, or appear to be in open
conflict. Occasionally, one or more powerful identities
allocate time to the others. Aggressive or hostile identities
may at times interrupt activities or place the others in
uncomfortable situations.
Individuals with this disorder
experience frequent gaps in memory for personal history, both remote
and recent. The amnesia is frequently asymmetrical. The
more passive identities tend to have more constricted memories,
whereas the more hostile, controlling, or "protector" identities
have more complete memories. An identity that is not in
control may nonetheless gain access to consciousness by producing
auditory or visual hallucinations (a voice giving instructions).
Evidence of amnesia may be uncovered by reports from others who have
witnessed behavior that is disavowed by the individual or by the
individual's own discoveries (finding items of clothing at home that
the individual cannot remember having bought). There may be
loss of memory not only for recurrent periods of time, but also an
overall loss of biographical memory for some extended period of
childhood. Transitions among identities are often triggered by
psychosocial stress. The time required to switch from one
identity to another is usually a matter of seconds, but, less
frequently, may be gradual. The number of identities reported
ranges from 2 to more than 100. Half of reported cases include
individuals with 10 or fewer identities.
Diagnostic Criteria for
Dissociative Identity Disorder
The presence of
two or more distinct identities or personality states
(each with its own relatively enduring pattern of
perceiving, relating to, and thinking about the
environment and self).
At least two of
these identities or personality states recurrently take
control of the person's behavior.
Inability to
recall important personal information that is too
extensive to be explained by ordinary forgetfulness.
The disturbance
is not due to the direct physiological effects of a
substance (blackouts or chaotic behavior during Alcohol
Intoxication) or a general medical condition (complex
partial seizures). Note: In children, the
symptoms are not attributable to imaginary playmates or
other fantasy play.
