A sample of 68 Israeli opiate use disorder patients in recovery, 80 battered Arab Israeli women, and 103 respondents from a community sample participated in structured interviews that included the Dissociative Disorders Interview Schedule (DDIS), the Dissociative Trance Disorder Interview Schedule (DTDIS), and the Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES). As predicted, community participants reported significantly less exposure to traumatizing events and lower levels of dissociative psychopathology than individuals sampled from specialized treatment centers. In all, 91% of battered female participants were taxon-positive for dissociative disorder with 1 of every 2 respondents reporting symptoms corresponding to dissociative amnesia and depersonalization disorder, suggesting that this group may be particularly vulnerable to dissociative psychopathology. Extrasensory and paranormal experiences (ESP) and dissociative trance disorder experiences were strongly related to dissociative experiences and features of dissociative identity disorder (DID). These statistical associations suggest that dissociative disorders and ESP\/trance experiences may share an underlying construct. Further research is needed on trauma and dissociation among female victims of domestic abuse in patriarchal, collectivist societies, particularly in the Arab world.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1363461514552584","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,10]],"date-time":"2014-10-10T03:33:58Z","timestamp":1412912038000},"page":"58-73","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Dissociative disorders and possession experiences in Israel: A comparison of opiate use disorder patients, Arab women subjected to domestic violence, and a nonclinical group"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"52","author":[{"given":"Eli","family":"Somer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Haifa, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Colin","family":"Ross","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Colin A.
