The Multiscale Dissociation Inventory (MDI) is a comprehensive, self-administered, multiscale instrument developed by Paul F. Dell. [1] It is designed to assess the domain of dissociative phenomena. [2] The MDI measures 14 major facets of pathological dissociation and uses 23 scales to diagnose dissociative disorders. [1] [3]
It contains twenty-eight questions and returns an overall score as well as four sub-scale results. [1] DES is intended to be a screening test, since only 17% of patients with scores over 30 will be diagnosed with having dissociative identity disorder. [2] Patients with lower scores above normal may have other post-traumatic conditions.
Dissociation is commonly displayed on a continuum. [18] In mild cases, dissociation can be regarded as a coping mechanism or defense mechanism in seeking to master, minimize or tolerate stress – including boredom or conflict. [19] [20] [21] At the non-pathological end of the continuum, dissociation describes common events such as daydreaming.
The Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES) is a simple, quick, self-administered questionnaire that has been widely used to measure dissociative symptoms. [52] It has been used in hundreds of dissociative studies, and can detect depersonalization and derealization experiences. [53]
Interest in DPDR has increased over the past few decades, leading to a large accumulation of literature on dissociative disorders. There has been a shift towards the use of research studies, rather than case studies to understand depersonalization. [2] However, there remains a lack of solid consensus on its definition and scales used for ...
The less of these parts of the eye observed, the more hypnotically susceptible a person is. Research has shown that the scale may not carry as strong a relationship with other hypnotic scales as originally thought. [4] More recent research has found significant correlations with absorption scales, [5] and dissociative experiences. [6]
It was originally designed for the DSM-III-R but early access to DSM-IV criteria for dissociative disorders allowed them to be incorporated into the SCID-D. [7] For subjects with non-dissociative disorders administration takes between 30 minutes and 1.5 hours. Subjects with dissociative disorders usually require between 40 minutes to 2.5 hours.
The following diagnostic systems and rating scales are used in psychiatry and clinical psychology. This list is by no means exhaustive or complete. This list is by no means exhaustive or complete. For instance, in the category of depression, there are over two dozen depression rating scales that have been developed in the past eighty years.
