1. Dissociative disorders are characterized by a combination of fragmented memories (which may result in fragmented personalities), difficulties with memory recall, and dissociative behavior patterns. Depersonalization, a manifestation of dissociative disorders, is the experience of unreality or detachment from the individual's mind, sense of self, and/or physical body. Dissociations are unwelcome intrusions that occur with losses of continuity of time, changes in ability to relate to others, and amnesia, or the inability to recall what the person was doing during the dissociation. The client stating physical pain, not psychological suffering, is manifesting a somatic symptom. Difficulty describing or discussing feelings is seen in somatic symptom and related disorders.
