Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Diane's inability to recall events related to her father's funeral suggests that she is suffering from dissociative amnesia, which is a type of memory loss often caused by trauma or severe stress. It can be temporary or long-term and selective (i.e., affecting specific memories) or generalized. In this case, Diane's memory loss seems to be selective and related to the events surrounding her father's death.
