To summarize:
- Multiple personality disorder is now called dissociative identity disorder.
- Dissociative disorder is now understood to be fairly common effects of severe trauma in early childhood, most typically extreme, repeated physical, sexual, and/or emotional abuse.
- Research has documented that on average, people with dissociative disorders have spent seven years in the mental health system prior to accurate diagnosis.
- Review the symptoms of dissociative identity disorder.
- Dissociative disorders are highly responsive to individual psychotherapy, or “talk therapy,” as well as to a range of other treatment modalities, including medications, hypnotherapy, and adjunctive therapies such as art or movement therapy.
- Synesthesia is a condition in which one sense, touch for example, is simultaneously perceived by one or more additional senses such as taste. Although individuals with synesthesia may not act abnormally, they experience sensory stimulation unlike most of the population. An example might be when a person touches a wool sock and “tastes” chocolate.
- Review research data about a full moon and behaviour.
- Review the meaning of positive and negative correlation
