Abstract

Other specified dissociative disorder (OSDD) is a relatively new diagnosable dissociative disorder that was recently established with the publication of the diagnostic and statistical manual fifth edition (DSM-5). OSDD was previously grouped under Dissociative Disorders Not Otherwise Specified (DDNOS), which was subsequently broken up and recategorized into several dissociative disorders. OSDD can be characterized as a dissociative disorder that does not meet the full diagnostic criteria for dissociative identity disorder (DID). Furthermore, the DSM-5 lists four examples under OSDD to assist clinicians in recognizing conditions. The examples listed under the OSDD category includes (a) chronic and recurrent syndromes of mixed dissociative symptoms, (b) dissociation due to coercive persuasion, (c) acute dissociative reactions, and (d) dissociative trance disorder. The following chapter discusses the etiology, epidemiology, clinical manifestations, differential diagnosis, and management of OSDD.
