Abstract:

'The early phase of psychosis is understood to be formative in biological, psychological, and social terms, thus affording major opportunities for secondary prevention' (Birchwood & Fiorillo, 2000, p.182). The current thesis considers the experience of early psychosis and how variables of social cognition, trauma and dissociation, influence this crucial and formative period. Chapter I presents a systematic literature review that explores affect perception in early psychosis. The review suggests the presence of an affect perception deficit in early psychosis, which may be more pronounced for pe

Abstract:

Awareness due to increase crime has highlighted the occurrence of immense personal and social problems. Problems resulting from disorders such as Schizophrenia, Alzheimer's and Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) are less common but have a profound impact on all of us. Research has shown that 97% of people with severe abuse and life trauma before the age of nine, develop DID. The objective of this study was to investigate (from the perspectives of therapists) the experience of people diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) in the workplace. A qualitative research design was used t

Abstract:

Background: The role and nature of conflict in DID is underexplored beyond theoretical deduction. The present study sought to explore the subjective experience of conflict and the nature of conflict in psychiatric patients diagnosed with DID. Methodology: Qualitative methods were used for this study. First-hand accounts in the form of secondary data were explored – i.e. typed transcriptions of previously recorded in-depth interviews. A collective case study design was used, and the data analysed using thematic analysis alongside the constant comparison analysis method as formulated by Boeije

Abstract:

Background: Differential relationships of the dimensions of psychopathy with external factors indicate that psychopathy can be conceptualised as a multifaceted syndrome comprised of distinct subgroups of psychopaths (Blackburn, 1988). However, it is not known whether similar subtypes of psychopathy exist across cultures. The research question which this thesis sought to answer was: Do subtypes of psychopathy exist among murderers, and if so, might the prevalence of these subtypes differ across cultures? Three aims were addressed: i) to compare the trauma histories, dissociative experiences and

Abstract:

<p> Past research has indicated that dissociation and schizotypy are highly correlated (Merckelbach & Giesbrecht, 2006; Watson, 2001). Although somewhat controversial, some research has suggested that dissociation and schizotypy traits constitute a unique personality domain often referred to as "oddity" (Watson, Clark, & Chmielewski, 2008). Past research has provided evidence for a relationship between these oddity facets and unusual sleep experiences, such as narcolepsy symptoms and nightmares (Koffel & Watson, 2009). It has been suggested that "unusual cognitive and perceptual ex

Abstract:

Initially, this thesis presents an idiographic systematic review that explored how adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse experience talking therapies. The key findings suggest that although the process of healing is challenging and often viewed as an ongoing process, talking therapies can facilitate healing through developing trust, safety, relational equality and establishing interpersonal connections. Additionally, the experiential learning of choice, control, respect and being believed was essential for long-term healing, which could facilitate intrapersonal reconnection. Secondly, the

Abstract:

Dissociation may be broadly described as a subjective experience in which information from the individual's internal or external environment is not appropriately integrated into conscious awareness, memory or identity. A number of studies have found an association between dissociative experience and anxious arousal, and in particular, between dissociation and trauma. Recent reviews suggest the existence of an unspecified mediating variable that accounts for these associations. The present study compared dissociative experiences reported by a community sample (N = 74) and a sample of individual

This thesis examines the neurocognitive biases of body-specific emotional processing in those predisposed to latent biases of depersonalization / derealization (DP/DR) experience. DP/DR is characterised by dissociative feelings of self-consciousness and dulled emotional experience. Emotional arousal was recorded via psychophysiological measures (skin conductance responses: SCRs, and body temperature) in relation to salient, body-related stimuli consisting of aversive simulated body-threats (e.g. injection procedures and fingernail removal).

When people play games, they don’t necessarily realize that they have been dissociated with the surrounding world.
