A. In conclusion, there is a emerging body of evidence connecting dissociative disorders to a traumatic past, and to certain neural mechanisms of behaviors.

However, The treatment of dissociative disorder conditions are conventionally extended and prolonged; the number of sessions required to reach treatment goal varies based on resiliency, their distress tolerance, and the constancy of external forces throughout treatment. Comment by Dr. Dumont: One of the required sections needs to be included:5. A biblical perspective of these disorders and their treatment
