13. Dissociative Symptoms • Total score is simply the sum of the numbers placed before the 17 items. • Thus, scores can range from 17 to 85, with higher scores (51 or higher) reflecting more experience with dissociation from time-to-time.

Symptoms — ranging from amnesia to alternate identities — depend in part on the type of dissociative disorder you have. • Times of stress can temporarily worsen symptoms, making them more obvious.
