Between 10% and 20% of the population experience personality disorders. They are difficult to treat as individuals with personality disorders are less likely to seek help than individuals with other mental health disorders. Treatment can be challenging as they do not see their symptoms as painful to themselves or others. 

 

Paraphilic disorders are far more common in men than in women, and generally quite chronic, lasting at least two years. Treatment of these disorders usually involves both psychotherapeutic and pharmacologic treatments.

In this Assignment, you will explore personality and paraphilic disorders in greater detail. You will research potentially controversial elements of the diagnosis and/or treatment and explain ethical and legal considerations when working with these disorders.

Controversy Associated with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) Dissociative Identity Disorder (ICD-10:

F44.81), which was previously referred to as Multiple Personality Disorder, entails a process of dissociation in

which the patient goes through a mental process leading to a lack of connection in the individual’s memories,

thoughts, feelings, sense of identity and action. An individual develops dissociative identity disorder due to

sustained and severe childhood trauma, in which the child’s psyche, which at this stage is rather fragile,

dissociates so at to facilitate coping with stressors. According to the DSM 5 criteria for dissociative identity

disorder is the presence of two or more personality states in the patient, complete inability for the patient to

recall important events that happened in their life, and disturbance is not linked to substance abuse or other

mental condition. DID is surrounded by a variety of controversies, for example, its theory of causality.

Controversy Surrounding the dissociative identity disorder The controversy related to dissociative identity

disorder relates first to its theory of causality, in which patients exhibit repressed memories, which mental

health professionals are skeptical and question the potential of suddenly remembering abuse that happened in

one’s childhood, which might never have occurred. Some mental health professionals’ state that most patients

suffering from DID do not completely forget severe or chronic abuse, but rather only forget certain episodes.

The main reason some of the myths and controversies related to DID persist may be due to lack of education

and awareness on the disorder, as well as lack of updated information on the same.
