Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dissociative identity disorder (DID) is the only dissociative disorder that involves two or more distinct personality states, previously known as multiple personality disorder. Dissociative amnesia with fugue, dissociative amnesia, and depersonalization/derealization disorder do not involve multiple personalities. Identity amnesia is not a recognized disorder.
