Answer to Problem 21TYS

“Dissociative identity disorder is controversial because it is almost never reported outside North America. Hence, option c. is the correct answer.

Explanation of Solution

Reasons for the correct statement:

Option c. is given as “it is almost never reported outside North America.”. Dissociative disorders are the conditions that include disruptions or breakdown of memory, perception, awareness, or identity that are caused by psychological trauma. The dissociative disorder in North America is more due to the lack of awareness and training among the people. Therefore, option c. is the correct answer.

Reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option a. is given as “dissociation is actually quite rare”. Dissociative disorder is more controversial in North America. As dissociation is more common, the given statement is false. Therefore, option a. is incorrect.

Option b. is given as “it was reported frequently in the 1920s but rarely today”. Dissociative disorder is not reported frequently in 1920. Hence, option b. is incorrect.

Option d. is given as “its symptoms are nearly identical to those of obsessive-compulsive disorder”. The symptoms of dissociative identity disorder are dissociative amnesia and lack of consciousness. These are not the symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Hence, option d. is incorrect.

Hence, options a., b., and d. are incorrect.

Conclusion
Dissociative identity disorder is controversial because it is almost never reported outside North America.
