when was dissociative identity disorder added to the dsm?
1993
there were several contributing factors to the rapid decline of reports of multiple personality disorder/dissociative identity disorder. one was the discontinuation in december 1997 of "dissociation: progress in the dissociative disorders," the journal of the international society for the study of multiple personality and dissociation. the society and its journal were perceived as uncritical sources of legitimacy for the extraordinary claims of the existence of intergenerational satanic cults responsible for a "hidden holocaust" of satanic ritual abuse that was linked to the rise of mpd reports. in an effort to distance itself from the increasing skepticism regarding the clinical validity of mpd, the organization dropped "multiple personality" from its official name in 1993, and then in 1997 changed its name again to the international society for the study of trauma and dissociation.
