Question 1

Which of the following was once viewed as form of "hysteria"?
◦ conversion disorder
◦ dissociative identity disorder
◦ dissociative fugue
◦ hypochondriasis

Question 2

Why has the term "multiple personality disorder" been replaced with "dissociative identity disorder"?
◦ The old term was often used to refer to both schizophrenia and DID, thus a new term was needed to end this confusion.
◦ The word "multiple" suggested the presence of more identities than were commonly observed.
◦ Fully developed personalities are not present in DID, just varying expressions of different aspects of the patient's personality.
◦ A new diagnostic term was wanted to remove some of the stigma associated with the old term and its presentation in the media.
