91. What is somatic symptom disorder? How is it different from illness

anxiety disorders, factitious disorders imposed on self, factitious
disorders imposed on another, and conversion disorders (functional
neurological symptom disorders)?
Key terms and concepts that may be included in student responses:
Somatic symptom disorders—people experience physical symptoms, no

apparent organic cause, psychological factors are involved, symptoms not
consciously produced or controlled
Illness anxiety disorder—anxiety about getting or having a disorder, do

not always experience physical symptoms
Factitious disorders imposed on self-faking an illness to gain medical

attention
Factitious disorder imposed on another—parents fake or create illnesses

in their children to gain attention for themselves
Conversion disorder (functional neurological symptom disorder)—People

with this disorder lose neurological functioning in parts of their bodies,
apparently not due to medical causes.
Page: 152–155
disorders.
92. What is conversion disorder (functional neurological symptom

disorder)? What are some of the common types of conversion
symptoms?
Conversion disorder (functional neurological symptom disorder)—loss of

functioning in a particular body part, person can have repeated episodes of
conversion involving different parts of the body
Symptoms—paralysis, blindness, mutism, seizures, loss of hearing,

severe loss of coordination, anesthesia in a limb, symptoms develop after an
extreme psychological stressor.
Page: 157–158
disorders.
93. How did the psychoanalytic theory interpret conversion disorder

Psychoanalytic theory—glove anesthesia, hypnosis, transfer of psychic

energy attached to repressed emotions or memories into physical symptoms
Page: 157–158
disorders.
94. What is factitious disorder imposed on self? What is factitious

disorder imposed on another? What are some of the costs to a child
whose mother has Munchhausen’s or factitious syndrome?
Factitious disorders imposed on self-faking an illness to gain medical

attention
Factitious disorder by imposed on another—parents fake or create

illnesses in their children to gain attention for themselves
The text covers the case of a child that went through 200 hospitalizations
and 40 operations due to her mother’s syndrome.
Page: 158–159
disorders.
95. What is dissociative identity disorder (DID)? What are its

symptoms?
DID—more than one distinct identity or personality (alter) takes control

over individual’s behavior on a regular basis.
There are recurrent gaps in everyday events, important personal

information, and/or traumatic events that are inconsistent with ordinary
forgetting.
Symptoms—alters (child, persecutor, helper), amnesia, self-destructive

behavior, hearing voices inside their heads; children show behavioral and
emotional problems such as poor school performance, antisocial behavior,
sexual relations, alcohol/drug abuse, PTSD, outbursts of anger, deep
depression, and severe anxiety
Page: 162-163
disorders.
96. What are some of the issues in diagnosing dissociative identity

disorder (DID)? What are some of the reasons for cross-national
differences in the diagnosis rates of DID?
Issues—DID was first included in the third edition of the DSM and was
often misdiagnosed as schizophrenia; people with DID often are also
diagnosed with at least three other disorders, other disorders diagnosed may
be the result of DID
Cross-national differences in rates of diagnosis—diagnosed more

frequently in the United States, Latinos more likely to experience symptoms;
some researchers argue that psychiatrists in the United States are too quick
to diagnose DID, while others argue that psychiatrists in other countries
misdiagnose it as another disorder

disorders.
97. What is dissociative amnesia? What is meant by organic and

psychogenic amnesia?
Dissociative amnesia—people have significant periods of amnesia but do

not assume new personalities or identities, cannot remember important facts
about their lives and their personal identities, are aware that there are large
gaps in their memory of themselves
Organic amnesia—brain injury resulting from disease, drugs, or surgery;

may involve anterograde amnesia
Psychogenic amnesia—psychological causes (no brain injury), rarely
involves anterograde amnesia, may involve retrograde amnesia
Specify with dissociative fugue if there is apparently purposeful travel or

bewildered wandering that is associated with amnesia for identity or other
autobiographical information.
Page: 164–165
disorders.
98. Briefly discuss the differences between psychogenic and organic

amnesia.
Psychogenic amnesia—Caused by psychological factors, seldom

involves anterograde amnesia (inability to learn new information acquired
since onset of amnesia), can involve retrograde amnesia (inability to
remember events from the past), retrograde amnesia often only for personal,
not for general, information
Organic amnesia—Caused by biological factors (such as disease, drugs,

and blows to the head), often involves anterograde amnesia, can involve
retrograde amnesia, retrograde amnesia usually for both personal and general
information
Page: 165
disorders.
99. Describe dissociative fugue and some of its key characteristics.
Dissociative fugue—person will suddenly move to a new place, assume a

new identity, no memory of previous identity, will behave normally in new
environment, cannot remember anything from the past, may return to previous
identity and home, resumes life as if nothing happened, no memory for what
happened during the fugue
Characteristics—fugue may last for days or years, person may

experience repeated fugue states or a single episode, often is a response to
chronic stress or a traumatic event, common in people who are highly
hypnotizable and have histories of amnesia, low prevalence

Topic: Fugue State
100. Imagine yourself as a juror in the following murder case (from

Loftus, 1993). The defendant is George Franklin, Sr., 51 years old,
standing trial for a murder that occurred more than 20 years earlier. The
victim was eightyear-old Susan Kay Nason. Franklin’s daughter, Eileen,
only eight years old herself at the time of the murder, provided the major
evidence against her father. Eileen’s memory of the murder, however,
had re-emerged only recently, after 20 years of being repressed.
Eileen’s memory first began to come back when she was playing with her two-
year-old son and her five-year-old daughter. At one moment, her daughter
looked up and asked a question like “Isn’t that right, Mommy?” A memory of
Susan Nason suddenly came to Eileen. She recalled the look of betrayal in
Susie’s eyes just before the murder. Later, more fragments would return, until
Eileen had a rich and detailed memory. She remembered her father sexually
assaulting Susie in the back of a van. She remembered that Susie was
struggling as she said “No, don’t!” and “Stop!” She remembered her father
saying “Now, Susie,” and she even mimicked his precise intonation. Next, her
memory took the three of them outside the van, where she saw her father
raise a rock above his head. She remembered screaming and walking back to
where Susie lay, covered with blood, the silver ring on her finger smashed.
When questioned by prosecutors, Eileen was highly confident in her memory.
Based on what we have learned in class, and what was covered in your text,
would you convict George Franklin of the murder of Susan Nason? Why or
why not? (Discussion appears on p. 482 at the back of this book.)
 Many theorists who study dissociative identity disorder view it as the

result of coping strategies used by persons faced with intolerable
trauma—most often childhood sexual and/or physical abuse
 Numerous studies from the literature on eyewitness identification and
testimony indicating that people can be made to believe certain events
occurred that in fact never happened and that these beliefs can persist
for months or years
 Loftus’s “lost at the mall” studies
 Ost et al., London bus explosion study
 McNally et al., alien abduction studies
