DID is defined in the DSM-IV-TR as the presence of two or more personality states
or distinct identities that repeatedly take control of one’s behavior. The patient
has an inability to recall personal information. The extent of this lack of recall
is too great to be explained by normal forgetfulness. The disorder cannot be due
to the direct physical effects of a general medical condition or substance.
The average time period from DID’s first presentation of symptoms to its diagnosis
is six to seven years. DID may become less manifest as patients reach past their
late 40’s, but it can reemerge during stress, trauma or substance abuse. It is
suggested in several studies that DID is more likely to occur with first-degree
biological relatives of people that already have DID, than in the regular
population.

Describes the methods and criteria used for diagnosing and assessing Dissociative
Identity Disorder (DID). The symptoms and etiology of DID are discussed. The use
of client histories, different psychological tests and the test results of
different test items are discussed in terms of their applicability to a diagnosis,
as well as their validity and reliability. Differential diagnoses and their
effect on the diagnosis of DID are enumerated upon. The dissociative spectrum and
ritual abuse are discussed briefly, in order to help clarify the symptomology and
etiology of DID.
