The two characteristic features of most dissociative reactions are a disturbance of the self-identity of an individual, and/or a disturbance of the individual's memory (Putnam, 1985).
In the DSM-1, these behaviors were called dissociative reaction, (American Psychiatric Association, 1952), which came to be called hysterical neurosis, dissociative type in the DSM-II (American Psychiatric Association, 1968).
