Abstract
The article gives a short review of how knowledge and competence on dissociative disorders have developed in Stavanger, Norway. The main part of the article describes two patients with dissociative disorders. The first of these cases describes a middle-aged female patient with a long psychiatric history with different psychiatric diagnoses. She was the first among our patients to get the MPD diagnosis in 1992. The other case presents a young man diagnosed with DDNOS during his first stay in the psychiatric department in 1993. The diagnosis later on was changed to MPD. Their treatments within the Norwegian mental health system are illustrated.
