Dissociative D/O's: There are several types of dissociative disorders, but they have in common a basic unconscious self-protective process of disconnection from, or lack of connection of experiences usually connected with each other. Dissociated experiences are not integrated into one's usual sense of self, resulting in discontinuities in conscious awareness. A start: http://www.Isst-d.Org/default.Asp?Contentid=13.
