A number of problems have been identified regarding the "traumatic memory" explanation (the dissociative coping theory) of dissociative identity disorder. Which of the following is NOT one of the problems identified in the text?
A) Rather than dissociating from the painful experience, most trauma victims are bothered by recurring and intrusive memories and have no trouble recalling the traumatic event.
B) The dissociative coping theory (traumatic memory explanation) is difficult to test empirically because memories of childhood are notoriously unreliable and difficult to authenticate.
C) Dissociative identity disorder is usually diagnosed in adulthood, and it is often impossible to verify whether the reports of childhood trauma are real or imagined.
D) The dissociative coping theory (traumatic memory explanation) predicts that dissociative identity disorder patients would have a variety of other psychological disorders before being diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder, and this is rarely the case.
