Talk:Dissociation (psychology)

message: Article listed on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion Apr 23 to Apr 29 2004, consensus was to keep and list on Wikipedia:Pages needing attention.  Discussion:
From Cleanup: Dissociation dict def.
*Keep. Despite currently being a sub-stub, this is a valid psychological topic. Could cover: State of dissociation, Types and degrees of dissociation, Dissociative disorders, Dissociation techniques, Uses of dissociation e.g. pain control, conflict resolution. --Zigger 19:04, 2004 Apr 25 (UTC)
*Keep, agree with Zigger.  I think perhaps the reason why this one's been on cleanup a fair length of time is because it's a specialist subject.  Try listing instead on Wikipedia:Pages needing attention under Psychology. -- Graham  :) | Talk 21:30, 25 Apr 2004 (UTC)

message: I would like anyone interested in this article to comment on whether emotional detachment is covering the same concept (in it's first definition). If so, the information should probably be moved here. --DanielCD 21:50, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Emotional Detachment - Same?

message: This article is nonsensical- how can I split myself from myself??? I can no more do this than detach myself from the floor I have to walk on. I am all of me, to detach myself from a part of me is a tautology.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.108.102.113 (talk) 17:01, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: nonsensical

message: It's clear that one of the main concerns raised by the present state of this article is the failure to discriminate between dissociation, the markers for dissociative disorders, and dissociative disorders themselves.  As dissociation is such a controversial subject, it is imperative that this be clarified.
This articel is about dissociation ONLY!!!  Reference to the other two topic areas should be compare and contrast, not drawing parallels.

replies: text: Currently Dissociative disorder is redirecting to Dissociation (psychology), since 2004, it probably needs an article of it's own? (Not to be confused with Dissociative identity disorder of course!) --Zeraeph 23:29, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

message: The clinical status of Chu's sample is important enough to mention, even if it isn't necessary. Merckelbach singled out Chu et al. specifically as worthy of being "interpreted with caution," given its sample was a patients group. --AnotherSolipsist (talk) 20:36, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Somaform and psychoform

message: I'm a neurologist, not a psychiatrist. I have recently been reading Paul McHugh's book "Try to Remember", U. Chicago press ( <http://www.press.uchicago.edu/presssite/metadata.epl?mode=synopsis&bookkey=334563> ). 
McHugh was the longtime chairman of the psychiatry department at Hopkins.
I think the book raises a lot of important issues, not the least of which is the remarkable (and probably unreasonable) increase in the diagnosis of PTSD in the last 15 years. McHugh is an opponent of both diagnoses (dissociative disorder and PTSD), and thinks that they are massively overused. In my practice, certainly, the diagnosis of PTSD is overused. One recent patient came with a diagnosis of PTSD secondary to childbirth.
I am not qualified to edit this particular page. However, I think it is dishonest not to mention conflicting opinions.

thread_title:  Controversy on dissociative disorder and PTSD 

message: There is another article called dissociative disorder. I think it would make sense to cover the topic of dissociation and dissociative disorder in one article. At the moment this article switched without warning between one or the other topic. It is very difficult to talk about one without the other they are so tightly linked. ----Action potential  discuss contribs 07:31, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dissociative disorder 

message: The article says: "Janet's descriptions of dissociation and dissociative symptoms are generally considered to be ground-breaking (and much superior to Freud's descriptions of those phenomena)." That sentence has four sources listed, but I suspect (can't check any of them) that those sources support "ground-breaking" rather than "superior". The "superior" part sounds like POV and/or OR to me, because the very next sentence says that "clinicians have routinely preferred Freud's motivational explanation," and later in the article it refers to "studies which suggest that dissociation is correlated with a history of trauma." I can imagine interpretations of all these phrases that could make them all simultaneously true, but my net impression from the article as a whole is that Freud's theory is widely accepted, and that someone who didn't agree with it threw in an unsupported parenthetical statement indicating that Janet's theory is widely believed to be superior.  Can someone with access to the cited sources find out whether the sources actually support the statement that Janet's description is "generally considered to be ... much superior to Freud's"? Even if those sources do in fact say that, I think the article needs cleanup to make that statement consistent with the other lines that seem to contradict it. --Elysdir (talk) 19:00, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Janet's description superior to Freud's? 

message: "Dissociative experiences are further characterized by the varied maladaptive mental constructions of an individual's natural imaginative capacity"
This sentence is ridiculous.  Reads like someone wrote it out of a dictionary and was trying to intentionally confuse, not convey actual information.
