In this video from The CTAD Clinic, Dr Mike Lloyd asks whether the current system of classifying severe dissociative disorders between Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) and Other Specified Dissociative Disorder (OSDD) is the most helpful. The criteria for diagnosing OSDDis outlined.


Drawing on the published work of Ellert Nijenhuis and Paul Dell, Mike looks at how OSDD is conceptualised and what sets it apart from DID. Mike also discusses how Dell and Nijenhuis rethink the way that OSDD could be reclassified from the DSM-V system into something more useful therapeutically.
