“…The Brazilian DES also showed convergent validity with measures of childhood trauma and psychological distress, especially those items taping the more pathological dissociative experiences (Domingues Goi, 2012;Negro, Palladino-Negro & Louzã, 2002). In turn, DES scores diminished in response to cognitive behavioral therapy and pharmacological treatments of post-traumatic stress disorder (Lages et al, 2011;Lima et al, 2007). However, in this study, we did not use the threshold score for diagnostic purposes, but only as an auxiliary procedure to differentiate high or low dissociative tendencies -in accordance with the recommendation by Carlson and Putnam (1993).…”

A category of religious experience that still preserves much of the original blurring and fusion between art and religion is mediumistic or spirit painting. Performed by spiritualist mediums in different locations around the world, this form of religious experience is characterized by the supposed ability of an individual to serve as an instrument for deceased artists to continue to perform their works. Little scientific research has been conducted concerning this topic. We present a brief analysis of painting activity performed by Jacques Andrade, a Brazilian medium. Born in 1945, Andrade, who has been active in the Brazilian Kardecist movement for many years, has dedicated most of his religious life to mediumistic painting at his center (The Leonardo da Vinci Salon of Mediumistic Art). Data about the medium were collected on several different occasions, from 1998 to 2013, and include psychophysiological measures (hand temperature, heart rate, bilateral skin conductance, muscle tension, and electrical brain activity), psychological measures (Dissociative Experiences Scale, Tellegen Absorption Scale, Revised Transliminality Scale, and Childhood Trauma Questionnaire), artistic material, observational data (photographs of paintings, observations of the medium in action), and some basic socio-demographic and biographical information. Basically we sought to evaluate: a) general aspects of the painting technique and style employed by the medium, b) the main features of his pictorial production, and c) the general behavior shown by the medium during the mediumistic activity. In an effort to combine and integrate our findings about this case, we propose a biopsychosocial approach to the study of what might be called creative dissociation.

“…Por sua vez, as pontuações na DES diminuíram em resposta à psicoterapia cognitivo-comportamental e ao tratamento farmacológico do transtorno de estresse pós-traumático (Lages et al, 2011;Lima et al, 2007), o que não só fornece validação adicional à escala, como também sugere que os dados obtidos no Brasil sobre a DES tendem a se comportar de modo compatível com o que já se sabe acerca das pesquisas estrangeiras.…”

RESUMOO objetivo deste artigo é apresentar as propriedades psicométricas, a estrutura fatorial e evidências de validade convergente da versão brasileira da Escala de Experiências Dissociativas (DES) em uma amostra não clínica. Participaram deste estudo 1450 respondentes (67,9% homens) com 18 anos de idade ou mais (M=29,32; DP=11,27), de vários estados brasileiros, que integraram um survey online sobre o papel das experiências dissociativas nas práticas religiosas e a relação com variáveis psicopatológicas e sociodemográficas. A análise fatorial exploratória indicou que a melhor solução seria trifatorial, tendo os fatores sido nomeados como: absorção, despersonalização-desrealização e amnésia. A versão brasileira da DES denotou consistência interna satisfatória. Também correlacionou positivamente com variáveis com as quais se esperava que correlacionasse, como sintomas conversivos e de somatização e relatos de experiências místico-religiosas. Pessoas com escore igual ou acima de 30 apresentaram média significativamente maior em abuso emocional, abuso físico e abuso sexual. Palavras-chave: dissociação; precisão do teste; análise fatorial; correlação estatística. ABSTRACT -Validity evidence of the Dissociative Experiences Scale in a nonclinical sampleThe aim of this paper is to present the psychometric properties, factor structure and evidence of convergent validity of the Brazilian version of the Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES) in a non-clinical sample. The study included 1,450 respondents (67.9% male), 18 and older (M=29.32; SD=11.27), from several Brazilian states, who joined an online survey about the role of dissociative experiences in religious practices and their relation to sociodemographic and psychopathological variables. The exploratory factor analysis indicated that the best solution would be tri-factorial. The factors were named as absorption, depersonalization/derealization and amnesia. The Brazilian DES denoted satisfactory internal consistency. The DES also correlated positively with expected variables, as measures of somatization and conversion symptoms, and reports of religious experiences. Participants with a score greater than or equal to 30 in the DES presented significantly higher scores in emotional abuse, physical abuse and sexual abuse. Keywords: dissociation; measurement precision; factor analysis; statistical correlation.

Dissociation From a Cross-Cultural Perspective

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A major issue in the study of dissociation concerns the cross-cultural validity of definitions and measurements used to identify and classify dissociative disorders. There is also extensive debate on the etiological factors underlying dissociative experiences. Cross-cultural research is essential to elucidate these issues, particularly regarding evidence obtained from countries in which the study of dissociation is still in its infancy. The aim of this article was to discuss Brazilian research on the topic of dissociation, highlighting its contributions for the understanding of dissociative experiences in nonclinical populations and for the validity and relevance of dissociative disorders in the contexts of psychiatry, psychology, and psychotherapy. We also consider the ways in which dissociative experiences are assimilated by Brazilian culture and religious expressions, and the implications of Brazilian studies for the sociocultural investigation of dissociation. We conclude by addressing the limitations of these studies and potential areas for future research.
