when did multiple personality disorder become dissociative identity disorder?
2003
in 1994, the fourth edition of the dsm replaced the criteria again and changed the name of the condition from "multiple personality disorder" to the current "dissociative identity disorder" to emphasize the importance of changes to consciousness and identity rather than personality. the inclusion of interpersonality amnesia helped to distinguish did from dissociative disorder not otherwise specified, but the condition retains an inherent subjectivity due to difficulty in defining terms such as personality, identity, ego-state and even amnesia. the icd-10 still classifies did as a "dissociative [conversion] disorder" and retains the name "multiple personality disorder" with the classification number of f44.81.
dissociative identity disorder
both dissociative amnesia and dissociative fugue usually emerge in adulthood and rarely occur after the age of 50. the icd-10 classifies conversion disorder as a dissociative disorder while the dsm-iv classifies it as a somatoform disorder.
