Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dissociative disorders often involve a disruption of and/or discontinuity in the normal integration of consciousness, memory, identity, emotion, perception, body representation, motor control, and behavior. Forgetting personal identity and fleeing unpleasant situations are mechanisms that can serve as defenses against intolerable anxiety, allowing individuals to temporarily escape from situations or memories that are too painful or traumatic to integrate with their conscious self.
