SCL–90 symptom patterns: Indicators of dissociative disorders

SCL-90 symptom patterns: indicators of dissociative disorders.

The purpose of this study was to examine the SCL-90 profiles of adult outpatients with and without dissociative disorders. A total of 194 participants were administered the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Dissociative Disorders-Revised (SCID-D-R) and the Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90). Patients with dissociative identity disorder (DID) reported significantly higher SCL-90 Global Severit...

Neurobiology of dissociative disorders

Recent advances in neurosciences urge us to reconsider the existing links between organic causes and clinical findings of dissociative disorders. The clinical heterogeneity of these disorders is well known. Furthermore, the present neurobiological data are specific to only some dissociative disorders, which question the usefulness of an integrative approach for these data. Several studies sugge...

Neuroimaging and Dissociative Disorders

Although they were for a while “dissociated” (Spiegel, 2006) from the clinical and scientific arena, dissociative disorders have in the last several years received a renewed interest among several groups of researchers, who embarked on the work of identifying and describing their underlying neural correlates. Dissociative disorders are characterized by transient or chronic failures or disruptio...
