1. Dissociation

   Dissociation is a term in psychology describing a wide array of experiences from mild detachment from immediate surroundings to more severe detachment from physical and emotional experience. It is commonly displayed on a continuum. The major characteristic of all dissociative phenomena involves a detachment from reality – rather than a loss of reality as in psychosis. In mild cases, dissociation can be regarded as a coping mechanism or defense mechanisms in seeking to master, minimize or tolerate stress – including boredom or conflict. At the nonpathological end of the continuum, dissociation describes common events such as daydreaming while driving a vehicle. Further along the continuum are non-pathological altered states of consciousness. More pathological dissociation involves dissociative disorders, including dissociative fugue and depersonalization disorder with or without alterations in personal identity or sense of self. These alterations can include: a sense that self or the world is unreal; a loss of memory; forgetting identity or assuming a new self; and fragmentation of identity or self into separate streams of consciousness and complex post-traumatic stress disorder. Dissociative disorders are sometimes triggered by trauma, but may be preceded only by stress, psychoactive substances, or no identifiable trigger at all. The ICD-10 classifies conversion disorder as a dissociative disorder. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders groups all dissociative disorders into a single category.

1. Kevin Kane:

   Sometimes, that can be a very powerful thing, that dissociation, while you're dissociating from your body, you may be dissociating [ from ] your mind as well. And, you may be able to see your problems and your issues that have really been consuming you as,' Yes, they're still here, but now they're over there. They're in a little ball in the corner, and they don't have the power over me anymore.'.
