Answer to Question 1

A primary criticism of dissociative identity disorder (DID) is that there are few quantitative studies of it and even fewer that constitute experimental research. Thus, the scientific status of this disorder is not well established. The reliability of the diagnosis is called into question as its signs are intermittent, and most patients do not recognize the existence of their alters before they begin therapy. In addition, the terms used to describe symptoms are difficult to define in a way that can be studied. Finally, there is no consensus on what defines taking control of the person's behavior.

Answer to Question 2

B
