Dissociation and dissociative disorders are subjects of considerable dispute within the realm of psychopathology. Many consider them as residual concepts arising from the now obsolete term and clinical entity of “Hysteria.” These debates persist among scientists, with numerous researchers hesitant to explore them and clinicians reluctant to acknowledge their significance. Diagnosis of dissociative disorders in clinical settings is rare, except in cases where specialists are involved, or dedicated sectors are established. Clinicians often feel ill-equipped to assess or treat patients exhibiting dissociative symptomatology, either due to a lack of recognition or a perceived inadequacy in their own expertise. Educational resources on the subject are limited, and information is often obtained from nonscientific sources. Underdiagnosis and misdiagnosis can eventually lead to mistreatment of a group of long-suffering patients. A widely accepted instrument used to detect dissociation in clinical and nonclinical populations is the Dissociative Experience Scale.
