Item access-status.open.access.listelement.badge Dissociation : Vol. 8, No. 3, p. 175-202 : Dissociative reactions and characteristics of the trauma: preliminary tests of a perceptual theory of dissociation(Ridgeview Institute and the International Society for the Study of Dissociation, 1995-09) Beere, DonTen hypotheses were derived from Beere's (in press) perception based theory of dissociation. Seven hypotheses received significant support. Although two hypotheses obtained inconsistent support, the results are explainable by the theory. The tenth hypothesis received no support. Two post hoc hypotheses pertinent to the tenth hypothesis and based on the theory received strong support, however, indicating that the last hypothesis was a misapplication of the theory. The results indicate, as predicted by the theory, that during trauma perception of the background (defined as "I," mind, body, world, and time) is lost or altered and becomes the dissociative reaction. In addition, the results indicate that specific dissociative reactions are unique to specific traumatic conditions. In contrast to current opinion, some dissociative reactions during trauma do not seem defensive but result from perceptual focus on the traumatic threat.Item access-status.open.access.listelement.badge Dissociation : Vol. 8, No. 3, p. 165-174 : Loss of "background": a perceptual theory of dissociation(Ridgeview Institute and the International Society for the Study of Dissociation, 1995-09) Beere, DonThe present theory explains how specific dissociative reactions arise for the first time during a traumatic experience. During dissociation, according to this theory, the perceptual background associated with perception is lost or altered, creating "dysfunctional perceptual organization" (Fine, 1988). Dissociative symptomatology maps one to one with the background components of perceptual experience. The hypothesized psychological mechanism leading to the loss of or change in perception and, thus, to a change in background during trauma, is perception focused on the threat. Focused perception leading to changes in background can occur spontaneously or intentionally. Specific dissociative reactions hypothetically link to specific traumatic precipitants.Item access-status.open.access.listelement.badge Dissociation : Vol. 8, No. 3, p. 160-164 : The use of the DES in studying treatment outcome with dissociative identity disorder: a pilot study(Ridgeview Institute and the International Society for the Study of Dissociation, 1995-09) Choe, Byeong Moo; Kluft, Richard P., 1943-Item access-status.open.access.listelement.badge Dissociation : Vol. 8, No. 3, p. 155-159 : Reported sexual abuse and bulimic symptoms: the mediating role of dissociation(Ridgeview Institute and the International Society for the Study of Dissociation, 1995-09) Everill, Joanne T.; Waller, Glenn; Macdonald, WendyThere is only inconclusive evidence of a specific association between a history of sexual abuse and diagnosable eating disorders. However, there is stronger support for a link between sexual abuse and bulimic symptomatology. The mediating factors in this relationship are still unclear. Dissociation appears to be a strong candidate, given its links to both early trauma and bulimic psychopathology. This study examines the role of dissociation as a potential mediating factor in the relationship between a reported history of sexual abuse and specific bulimic behaviors in 60 women with eating disorders. A reported history of sexual abuse was associated with greater dissociation and with a greater frequency of bingeing. In an Analysis of Covariance, dissociation accounted for the association between a reported history of sexual abuse and frequency of bingeing. Further research is required to determine the other factors involved in this relationship.Item access-status.open.access.listelement.badge Dissociation : Vol. 8, No. 3, p. 142-154 : Adult attachment style, reported childhood violence history and types of dissociative experiences(Ridgeview Institute and the International Society for the Study of Dissociation, 1995-09) Coe, Michael T.; Dalenberg, Constance J.; Aransky, Kim M.; Reto, Cathy S.Undergraduate and first-year graduate students (n = 410) were assessed for adult attachment, history of exposure to violence in childhood, and frequency of four types of dissociative experiences. Violence history was related to attachment style, as were four factors extracted from two dissociation measures. Each attachment style was predicted by distinct patterns of violence history and dissociation. Importantly, the four types of dissociation, despite their conceptual relationship, were empirically independent clinical phenomena, at times entering the regression equations in significant and opposite directions. The findings are discussed in the context of empirical and clinical issues in adult attachment, child maltreatment, and dissociation.Item access-status.open.access.listelement.badge Dissociation : Vol. 8, No. 3, p. 130-141 : Epidemic dissociation among school children in southern Thailand(Ridgeview Institute and the International Society for the Study of Dissociation, 1995-09) Trangkasombat, Umaporn; Su-umpan, Umpon; Churujikul, Veera; Prinksulka, Kamthorn; Nukhew, Orawan; Haruhanpong, VilailukIn September 1993 an outbreak of illness at a school in the south of Thailand suddenly afflicted 32 girls aged 9-14 years. A study of epidemiologic and clinical aspects of the outbreak was done. Rapid resolution of symptoms, the absence of abnormal physical findings and failure to detect an organic cause indicated mass hysteria. The symptoms were dissociative in nature and in many cases resembled possession states. Of the affected students, 44% received psychiatric diagnoses. Higher rates of psychiatric diagnoses and stressful life events were found in girls with severe symptoms. Stresses in the community, cultural beliefs, individual psychopathology and group dynamics played major roles in the development of this epidemic.Item access-status.open.access.listelement.badge Dissociation : Vol. 8, No. 3, p. 127-129 : Editorial: A second look and miscellaneous reflections(Ridgeview Institute and the International Society for the Study of Dissociation, 1995-09) Kluft, Richard P., 1943-Item access-status.open.access.listelement.badge Dissociation : Vol. 8, No. 3, p. 000 : Cover, table of contents(Ridgeview Institute and the International Society for the Study of Dissociation, 1995-09)
