“…Claim (1) is supported by studies demonstrating that most MPD patients report histories of childhood sexual abuse (e.g. Coons and Milstein, 1986;Putnam et a[., 1986). Coons (1994) showed that, at least in his sample, the reported abuse was documented by school and social service reports and other records.…”

“…Morton took issue with this conclusion, noting that several studies have found that people diagnosed as having multiple personality disorder (MPD) almost always report histories of childhood sexual abuse (Coons and Milstein, 1986;Putnam, Gurroff, Silberman, Barban, and Post, 1986). Beitchman et al argued that the fact that most of the MPD patients in these studies also reported histories of childhood physical abuse weakens the evidence of a specific association between sexual abuse and MPD.…”

This rejoinder to the six commentaries on Lindsay and Read (this issue) focuses primarily on responding to criticisms levelled by some of the commentators, We clarify and elaborate upon the grounds for believing that some mental health practitioners use highly suggestive memory recovery therapies and that such therapies can lead some clients to develop illusory memories or false beliefs about childhood sexual abuse. 'We also comment on Pezdek's ideas concerning signal detection theory, Morton's application of the Headed Records model to amnesia and Multiple Personality Disorder, and to Sales, Shuman, and O'Connor's discussion of courtroom standards for the admissibility of expert psychological testimony.Completion of this special issue required considerable effort over a short period of time, and the success of this endeavour is due in large measure to the eight people who developed the six commentaries and to the work of Guest Co-Editor Lisa Grossman and North American Editor Mike Pressley. The commentaries were requested and received at very short notice, a reflection of th.e substantial and urgent interest in the 'false memory debate'. We thank all of the commentators for their contributions, and for give-and-take informal discussions a,long the way, and trust that our comments here reflect our respect for their work.The six commentaries vary in the extent to which they focus on the specific claims and arguments made in the Lindsay and Read a.rticle. Ceci and Loftus directed attention to some of our points and, while in agreement with them, highlighted and added to those arguments. Morton described how the Headed Records model of memory (Morton, 1991; Morton, Hammersley, and Bekerian, 1989) can be used to explain amnesia for traumatic experiences and amnesia in Multiple Personality Disorder. Sales, Shuman, and O'Connor, and Cohler approached the topic of memory *Work on this article was supported by a grant from the Alberta Law Foundation to J.

“…In the group with dissociation comorbidity, low scores for sexual interest both at admission and at discharge suggest that there was no increase of sexual interest, probably due to eventual previous harassments. In adult DID, sexual dysfunction is usually present (53). Female DID patients often have alters who exhibit a form of secondary lesbianism.…”

Introduction: This study aims to compare sociodemographic characteristics of the patients with bipolar disorder (BD) with and without comorbid dissociative disorder (DD) and to investigate the eventual effect of the comorbidity on the treatment. Methods:We enrolled a total of 149 patients diagnosed with BD and treated as inpatients consecutively in Şişli Etfal Hospital, Psychiatry Clinic between 2010 and 2011. For the patients who were diagnosed with DD using SCID-D and with BD using SCID-I, sociodemographic characteristics, YMRS, HAM-D, BPRS, DES scores and duration and number of hospital stays were evaluated. Results: 23 patients (15.4%) had dissociative disorder not otherwise specified (DD-NOS), 4 patients (2.6%) had dissociative identity disorder (DID) and 1 patient (0.6%) had dissociative amnesia. BD patients with comorbid DD were found to be predominantly female (p=0.015) and younger (p=0.002) and to have significantly higher DES scores than BD patients without DD (p<0.001). The total score of DES was correlated with duration hospital stay (p=0.001, Spearman r=0.336) in the total sample. Total HAM-D score at the time of admission was significantly higher in the comorbidity group (p=0.027), and suicide item was found to be significantly higher both at admission and at discharge (p<0.001 and p=0.035). Among BPRS scores at admission, hallucinatory behavior item was found to be higher in the comorbidity group (p=0.019). Among YMRS scores both at admission and at discharge, velocity and amount of speech item (p=0.027) and insight item at admission (p=0.006) was found to be significantly higher in the pure bipolar group (p=0.018). Conclusion:In patients with BD, DD comorbidity should be investigated. The BD patients with DD comorbidity tend to be female and younger, and show higher depression scores, leading to a prolonged hospital stay. In the presence of dissociation comorbidity, attempts and number of suicides and hallucinatory behaviors seem to be increased.

“…With the exception of psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia, perhaps the most serious mental disturbance is that of multiple personality, which has been linked to severe child abuse in numerous studies (Coons & Milstein, 1986;Kluft, 1985;Putnam;Guroff, Silberman, Barban, & Post, 1986).…”
