Neuroimaging-DID

Objective:
In discussing the etiology of dissociative identity disorder (DID), the relation between trauma, dissociation and psychosis is often discussed. This specific field has recently gained more attention in the literature and on international conferences. Holders of the psychosis view argue that dissociative experiences are actually related to psychotic symptoms. More specifically, the emergence of multiple personalities are actually hallucinations. Audrey will face the challenge to investigated the overlap between psychosis and dissociation using psychological measures.
