Article listed on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion Apr 23 to Apr 29 2004, consensus was to keep and list on Wikipedia:Pages needing attention. Discussion:
From Cleanup: Dissociation dict def.
- Keep. Despite currently being a sub-stub, this is a valid psychological topic. Could cover: State of dissociation, Types and degrees of dissociation, Dissociative disorders, Dissociation techniques, Uses of dissociation e.g. pain control, conflict resolution. --Zigger 19:04, 2004 Apr 25 (UTC)
- Keep, agree with Zigger. I think perhaps the reason why this one's been on cleanup a fair length of time is because it's a specialist subject. Try listing instead on Wikipedia:Pages needing attention under Psychology. -- Graham :) | Talk 21:30, 25 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. This is a valid psychology topic. Please, someone qualified, develop it. jaknouse 23:52, 27 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- I know a colleague who is an expert in dissociation at the Institute of Psychiatry, I will ask her to take a look.

- Ambadias - I added an entry to the dissociation wiki regarding substances that can induce this state, please review and remove or keep the entry if you feel it is suitable - im not a trained psychologist so what I added could be wrong. Please message me with changes if you disagree. I also added a snippet about the film identity just for general knowledge and in case anyone was interested in seeing the film. - Ambadias

[edit] Emotional Detachment - Same?
I would like anyone interested in this article to comment on whether emotional detachment is covering the same concept (in it's first definition). If so, the information should probably be moved here. --DanielCD 21:50, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Dissociation Same as DID?
I do believe that Dissociative Identity Disorder is the modern and correct term for Multiple Personalities, rather than MP being a form of DID.
Some of the material in the DID page could be merged into here, I'm thinking of the section attempting to define dissociation. I'm not sure how much of that is useful, but it seems like duplication the way it's set up now. P L Logan 03:15, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
- Dissociation is one of the defense mechanisms, the mental processes by which the mind/self protects itself.
- * Multiple Personality Disorder was once in the DSM, then was removed
- * Dissociative Identity Disorder is in the current DSM-IV, but we will see if it exists in the new edition.
- Note that the DID syndrome was totally removed from the Personality Disorder classification. It is highly disputed whether DID is a true psychiatric/psychological disorder at all. False Memory Syndrome is considered to be operative in most cases.
- DID and Dissociation are not the same thing at all. Not even close. This article is not a good one at all in its present form. It is unclear and muddled mess. Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) should be on the differentiation page, not here.
- Dissociation is one of three defense mechanisms associated wtih DID, and this article should refer to this fact, and provide a link to DID, of course.
- Hope I cleared a few things up for you (and others!) Thanks for posting -I am Kiwi 04:17, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
