- Being Human under Inhuman Conditions: Meanings of Living with Severe Dissociative States Involving the Experience of Being in Partsby Anja Söderberg on April 19, 2024
Severe dissociative states involving the experience of being in parts, typically associated with diagnosis such as dissociative identity disorder and other specified dissociative disorders, continue to be a controversial and rarely studied area of research. However, because persons with severe dissociative states are at risk of being harmed instead of helped within psychiatric care, their experiences of living with such states warrant further examination, while innovative ways to include them in...
- The symptom criteria for the dissociative subtype of posttraumatic stress disorderby Colin A Ross on November 30, 2023
CONCLUSIONS: A broad range of dissociative symptoms was endorsed on the Dissociative Experiences Scale and the Dissociative Disorders Interview Schedule. The results support a recommendation that a broad array of symptoms be included in the criteria for the dissociative subtype of PTSD in future editions of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.

- Dissociation-Induced Shame in Those with a Dissociative Disorder: Assessing the Impact of Relationship context using Vignettesby Martin J Dorahy on March 30, 2023
Some evidence in non-clinical groups suggests that the relationship context in which dissociation is experienced might moderate its association with shame. The current study used vignettes detailing either dissociative symptoms or the expression of sadness occurring in three different relationship contexts: with a friend, an acquaintance, or when alone. Ratings of emotional (e.g. shame, anxiety) and behavioral (e.g. leave, talk) reactions were made on single-item measures, and shame feelings...
- Functional Neuroimaging in Dissociative Disorders: A Systematic Reviewby Martina Nicole Modesti on September 23, 2022
CONCLUSIONS: Prefrontal dysfunction is frequently reported in dissociative disorders. Functional changes in other cortical and subcortical areas can be correlated with these diagnoses. Further studies are needed to clarify the neurofunctional correlations of each dissociative disorder in affected patients, in order to identify better tailored treatments.
