Research has shown that physical or sexual abuse of a child by a caretaker, such as a parent or family member, is the most common cause of dissociative disorders. While abuse by other individuals, such as teachers or doctors, can also lead to dissociative disorders, it is less common. The inclusion of priests in the question is likely due to the prevalence of sexual abuse by Catholic clergy, but again, this type of abuse is less common overall than abuse by caretakers.
