Dissociative Disorders

Dissociative Disorders are characterized by the disruption and/or discontinuity in the integration of consciousness, memory, motor control, perception, body representation, emotion, identity, and behavior. These symptoms can be applicable to all areas of psychological functioning and are typically experienced as unbidden intrusions into one’s awareness and behavior. This coincides with a loss of continuity in the subjective experience of the individual and/or the inability to access information or to control mental functions.
