Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dissociative disorders involve a disruption in the normal integration of consciousness, memory, identity, emotion, perception, and/or bodily sensations. This can result in the subjective experience of detachment from oneself or one's environment, and a loss of integrated cognitive functioning. Poor self-actualization and self-esteem may be present in some individuals with dissociative disorders, but they are not the defining characteristic of these disorders. Loss of normal spatial awareness is not a common theme in dissociative disorders.
