Dissent In the Land of Dissociative Identity Disorder

Aotearoa (New Zealand). This article examines the multiple identities phenomenon called Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), and its relationship to recovered memories. I include some important case studies as examples.

In a previous article that started this series, Abnormal Forgetting, The Repressed Memories Debate, I examined the incorrect assumption that personal identity should be subjected to psychological diagnosis.

The next part of this series will examine the so-called dissociative disorders as a social epidemic. Finally it will discuss the counter discourse that developed within the mental health professions, why it developed, and how it influenced a decline in the diagnostic combination of Multiple Personality Diagnosis (MPD) and Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID).
