| Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), is also commonly referred to as multiple personality disorder. It is a very complex disorder characterized by the coexistence of multiple separate identities (Kluft, 1996). DID commonly develops after the occurrence of some form of trauma in childhood. However, as a person with DID grows older, the multiple personalities may grow more complex, as the individual affected may combine posttraumatic events with fantasy to create more intricate personalities (Kluft, 1996). | Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), is also commonly referred to as multiple personality disorder.

| It has been studied that there is a relationship between detachment in infancy and increased vulnerability to dissociative disorder. The mothers of dissociative patients have been reported to have suffered the loss of a significant other in the first two years of their lives. In addition, childhood trauma, physical and sexual abuse in early childhood, latency and adolescence were shown to be significant predictors of self-mutilation and suicidality. In a study by Collin A. Ross and colleagues, 102 individuals with clinical diagnoses of DID were interviewed with Dissociative Disorders Interview Schedule (DDIS) (Ross et al, 1991). | It has been studied that there is a relationship between detachment in infancy and increased vulnerability to dissociative disorder.
