Assessment for which disorder would include collecting data back to a person’s childhood?
  1. Alter-Ego Disorder
  2. Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome
  3. Bi-Polar Disorder
  4. Dissociative Identity Disorder
Explanation
Answer - D - Dissociative identity disorder is also known as a multiple personality disorder. Severe trauma during early childhood can have the effect of personality states that continually hold power over an individual’s behavior. Repetitive physical, sexual, and emotional abuse causes an inability to recall key personal bits of information. Memories tend to vary according to the different identities one assumes.
