Definitely a form of dissociation. Only a T could tell what form it is. When I'm not out & I had switched/ dissociated, people told me I have a glazed look to my eyes. If you don't know to look, you wouldn't even notice. But for mine, my Body keeps going. It's the eyes that tell who's out. Your friend needs a T who specializes in dissociative disorders. We diss. as a defense mechanism. Just have to find out why your friend needs one.
As far as referrals, I'd stick w/ this site for some answers. There's a lot of posts here as well as a directory you can search.
Love,
