This is unfortunate. Because of his or her unique relationship with the patient, such physicians are in the best position to pick up the warning signals that herald the emergence of dissociative phenomena, and may thus play a significant role in helping the patient to enter appropriate therapy. Symptomatology and phenomenology indicative of a possible dissociative disorder are discussed with reference to complicating health issues and other concerns that may, from time to time, have to be addressed.338267 bytesapplication/pdfen-USArticle
