Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dissociative fugue is correctly defined as an individual forgetting their identity and suddenly fleeing to a new location. Dissociative amnesia is characterized by an inability to recall important information about one's life, but does not necessarily involve fleeing to a new location. Dissociative identity disorder involves the development of multiple personalities, rather than forgetting one's identity or fleeing.
