Depersonalization serves as a defense mechanism in response to severe anxiety. The person often is described as working on automatic or functioning as a robot.

Fugue is characterized by traveling that occurs suddenly and unexpectedly with no recall of the traveling. Amnesia is the inability to remember personal information, and dissociative identity disorder was formerly known as multiple personality disorder.

Therapeutic drawing will provide an opportunity for the child to express thoughts, feelings, and tensions. The distracters are not indicated based on the scenario.
