DID as described in the international classifications has little similarity with the clinical picture of \u201cDID\u201d met in current youth psychiatry. From this Perspective, we hypothesize that this current clinical presentation does not satisfy the categorical criteria of the international classifications. Based on the two terminological challenges related to the definition of DID (i.e., the notion of <jats:italic>dissociative disorders<\/jats:italic> and the different meanings of the term <jats:italic>identity<\/jats:italic>), we propose to differentiate two distinct entities from each other. The first is medical and listed in diagnostic criteria of international classifications; the second comes from popular culture and refers to the vast majority of clinical presentations received in daily clinical practice\u2014presented under the term Dissociative Identity Conditions (DIC). Since the status of DIC is a hot topic in current clinical psychiatry, we aim to identify eight possible explanations that can be provided to support its occurrence: (1) impact of iatrogenicity; (2) factors of suggestibility and desire for social acceptability; (3) psychoanalytic explanations; (4) neuropsychological explanations; (5) socio-cognitive explanations; (6) emotional labeling; (7) narrative explanations; (8) and transient illnesses explanations. In conclusion, we sustain that DIC results from a narrative interpretation of medical discourse by popular culture, developing in patients presenting undeniable distress. Such a transient disease fits in an ecological niche, which echoes the values of society, persisting under the action of a need for narrative continuity of the self.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyt.2022.965593","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,10]],"date-time":"2022-10-10T07:50:33Z","timestamp":1665388233000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Explanatory hypotheses of the ecology of new clinical presentations of Dissociative Identity Disorders in youth"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Christophe","family":"Gauld","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pauline","family":"Espi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Olivier","family":"Revol","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pierre","family":"Fourneret","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","first-page":"1","article-title":"International classification of diseases 11th edition (ICD-11)","volume-title":"Encyclopedia of Personality and Individual Differences","year":"2017"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1016\/j.psc.2005.10.013","article-title":"A new model of dissociative identity disorder","volume":"29","author":"Dell","year":"2006","journal-title":"Psychiatric Clin North Am."},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"413","DOI":"10.1192\/bjp.2020.168","article-title":"Dissociative identity disorder: out of the shadows at last?","volume":"219","author":"Reinders","year":"2021","journal-title":"Br J Psychiatry."},{"key":"B4","first-page":"p. 452","volume-title":"Dissociative Identity Disorder: Diagnosis, Clinical Features, and Treatment of Multiple Personality.","author":"Ross","year":"1997"},{"key":"B5","volume-title":"Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition","year":"2013"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"637929","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2021.637929","article-title":"Revisiting false-positive and imitated dissociative identity disorder","volume":"12","author":"Pietkiewicz","year":"2021","journal-title":"Front Psychol."},{"key":"B7","first-page":"275","article-title":"\u201cDissociative identity disorder: issues in the iatrogenesis controversy,\u201d","volume-title":"Traumatic Dissociation: Neurobiology and Treatment","author":"Loewenstein","year":"2007"},{"key":"B8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1133","DOI":"10.1016\/S0191-8869(99)00260-3","article-title":"Dissociative experiences and interrogative suggestibility in college students","volume":"29","author":"Merckelbach","year":"2000","journal-title":"Pers Individ Dif."},{"key":"B9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"111","DOI":"10.1111\/acps.12590","article-title":"Is it Trauma- or Fantasy-based?
