I came and read the continum and the other posts in this thread when someone suggested it to me in another thread. I found that the diagnostics that I was diagnosed on was different than the continum posted here. I was diagnosed on the universal multiaxial scale and the DSM IV TR criteria. The continum posted here lists PTSD as a dissociative disorder where as the univeral standards of the multiaxial scale and the DSM IV TR only lists Depersonalization, derealization, Dissociative Amnesia, Dissocative Fugue and DID for Dissociative disorders. the continum also posted here lists ADD (attention Deficit Disorder) as a part of dissociation but the DSM IV TR and the multiaxial scale and the DSM IV TR does not. the continum also lists atypical MPD and atypical Dissociative Disorders but the universal standards of the DSM IV TR and the multiaxal scale does not have atypical MPD listed. in the multiaxial scale and the DSM IV TR the lable MPD has been changed to Dissociative Identity Disorder. Everything to do with MPD (fragmented, poly fragmented ..) is now within the one diagnostic lable.
