Question

How effectively do two influential models of dissociative disorders explain who develops these disorders

Answer 1

Answer:

Neither the posttraumatic model (PTM) nor the sociocognitive model (SCM) is sufficient to explain who develops these disorders.

Explanation:

• dissociations the pattern of thoughts, memories, behavior, identity, and lack of continuity or disconnection in the external world. A person feels disconnected with himself, with sensory experiences and with his personal history.
• The main reason for separation is from childhood experiences. If childhood experiences are fraught with anxiety, sexual harassment, physical abuse and trauma, it can lead to the development of disconnection from the world and the self. Stress and major life events can also lead to divorce.
• Treatment is through psychotherapy such as CBT, Family Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Theory and Hypnosis.
