Abstract

This chapter describes pseudoscience and questionable ideas related to dissociative identity disorder (DID), dissociative amnesia, and depersonalization/derealization disorder. The chapter opens by discussing controversies such as the “memory wars.” Dubious treatments include memory recovery interventions, exorcism, DID-oriented therapy, ego state therapy, and internal family systems therapy. The chapter closes by reviewing research-supported approaches.
