Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dissociative amnesia is characterized by the inability to recall important personal information, often associated with a traumatic or stressful event. In Dan's case, he has no memory of the train wreck, which suggests dissociative amnesia as the category for his memory loss. The other options do not fit Dan's symptoms, as dissociative fugue is characterized by forgetfulness of personal identity and sudden travel away from home, dissociative catatonia involves motor disturbances and stupor, and dissociative posttraumatic stress disorder involves re-experiencing traumatic events.
