            In “Dispelling myths about dissociative identity disorder treatment: an empirically based approach” Brand et al. (2014) discredit misconceptions relating to the treatment of Dissociative Identity Disorder. The researchers used an evidence-based perspective in which they examined case series, individual cases, and inpatient studies. Eventually, they found that flexible and individualized approaches and psychoeducation are effective when treating Dissociative Identity Disorder. The article generally emphasizes the need to focus on stabilizing patients before addressing their traumatic symptoms. In this regard, this study is relevant to the topic since it provides substantial insight into improving treatment outcomes for Dissociative Identity Disorder. I will use this source in my research to discuss the treatment options suitable for Dissociative Identity Disorder

            In the article “Revisiting the etiological aspects of Dissociative Identity Disorder: A Biopsychosocial Perspective,” Sar et al. (2016) examine the various factors that may cause Dissociative Identity Disorder. The researchers review multiple studies relating to the etiological factors of the condition to develop their perspective. The authors eventually established that the etiology of Dissociative Identity Disorder involves psychological, biological, and social factors. Significantly, this source is relevant to my topic since it emphasizes the need to consider social context, neurobiology, genetic predispositions, childhood abuse, early life trauma, and changes in brain function when exploring the origins of Dissociative Identity Disorder. I will use this article in my paper to discuss the factors that lead people to develop Dissociative Identity Disorder.

Soibelman, A. (2017). The correlation between stress and the development of dissociative identity disorder. The Science Journal of the Lander College of Arts and Sciences, 11(1), 9. https://touroscholar.touro.edu/sjlcas/vol11/iss1/9/

            In “The correlation between stress and the development of dissociative identity disorder,” Soibelman, (2017) investigates the relationship between stress and the development of Dissociative Identity Disorder. The researcher tested the automatic nervous system for patients with Dissociative Identity Disorder through heart rate and skin conductance in this study. Soibelman (2017) found that people exposed to severe and prolonged stressors are likely to develop this condition as a coping mechanism. This study; thus, is relevant to my research topic since it highlights the significance of understanding the impact of stress in the etiology of the condition for successful diagnosis and intervention. Therefore, I will use this article to explain the role of stress in the development of Dissociative Identity Disorder.

            The article “Symptom patterns in dissociative identity disorder patients and the general population” by Ross & Ness (2010) explores the symptoms portrayed by people with Dissociative Identity Disorder. In this study, the researchers used an interview schedule to compare symptoms in selected patients to the general population. The researchers established that Dissociative Identity Disorder exhibited numerous symptoms, such as amnesia, blurred sense of identity, and inability to cope with emotional or work-related stress. Other symptoms highlighted in the article include anxiety and depression. I found this article relevant to my topic since it provides adequate information about how Dissociative Identity Disorder manifests in patients. As a result, I will use the source to identify and explain the major symptoms of Dissociative Identity Disorder.

            In “Dissociative Identity Disorder: A Case of Three Selfs,” Bravo et al. (2023) explore the symptoms, risk factors, and the appropriate treatment for Dissociative Identity Disorder. The authors reviewed three identities of a unique case of Dissociative Identity Disorder in this study. Bravo et al. (2023) found that most patients exhibit depression and functional abnormalities. This article also recommends psychotherapy as an effective approach to the treatment of Dissociative Identity Disorder. Meaningfully, this source is relevant to my topic since it provides insight into the manifestations, risk factors, and treatment procedures for Dissociative Identity Disorder. I will use this article to discuss the risk factors and the symptoms associated with Dissociative Identity Disorder.
