Fmri Studies of a Patient with Dissociative Identity Disorder Suggest

Pope and colleagues (2006) tracked scientific interest in the dissociative disorders over a 20 year period. They concluded that: A) Evidence supports changing dissociative identity disorder to a subtype of posttraumatic stress disorder B) CSA is present in all dissociative disorders and should be added to the diagnostic criteria in DSM-5 C) fMRI studies reveal enlarged ventricles in the hippocampal region, supporting a biological etiology of dissociative identity disorder D) Dissociative identity disorder is not widely accepted in the scientific community

Piper and Merskey (2004) concluded that Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID): A) Is inconsistently diagnosed due to varying methodologies (e.g., ICD-10 versus DSM-IV-TR) B) Should only be assessed and diagnosed by an experienced mental health practioner using the SCID C) Cannot be reliably diagnosed D) Is more common in western culture due to higher rates of CSA
