Changes

In 1994, the [[American Psychiatric Association]] (APA) replaced [[Multiple Personality Disorder]] (MPD) with '''Dissociative Identity Disorder''' (DID) in its ''Diagnostic and Statistical Manual'' (DSM-IV). *The presence of two or more distinct identities or personality states (each with its own relatively enduring pattern of perceiving, relating to, and thinking about the environment and self). *At least two of these identities or personality states recurrently take control of the person's behavior *Inability to recall important personal information that is too extensive to be explained by ordinary forgetfulness. *The disturbance is not due to the direct physiological effects of a substance (e.g., blackouts or chaotic behavior during Alcohol Intoxication) or a general medical condition (e.g., complex partial seizures). *Note: In children, the symptoms are not attributable to imaginary playmates or other fantasy play.
