Editing Dissociative identity disorder (section)

===21st century===
A 2006 study compared scholarly research and publications on DID and [[dissociative amnesia]] to other mental health conditions, such as [[anorexia nervosa]], [[alcohol use disorder]], and [[schizophrenia]] from 1984 to 2003. The results were found to be unusually distributed, with a very low level of publications in the 1980s followed by a significant rise that peaked in the mid-1990s and subsequently rapidly declined in the decade following. Compared to 25 other diagnosis, the mid-1990s "bubble" of publications regarding DID was unique. In the opinion of the authors of the review, the publication results suggest a period of "fashion" that waned, and that the two diagnoses "presently do not command widespread scientific acceptance."<ref name = Pope>{{cite journal |vauthors=Pope HG, Barry S, Bodkin A, Hudson JI | title = Tracking scientific interest in the dissociative disorders: A study of scientific publication output 1984–2003 | journal = Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics | volume = 75 | issue = 1 | pages = 19–24 | year = 2006 | pmid = 16361871 | doi = 10.1159/000089223 | s2cid = 9351660 }}</ref> A 2024 review found "steady" continued research after 2011, with 160 academic studies located in the 2011-2021 period, an increase of 60% over the previous decade. Authors previously skeptical of DID have adopted a "trans-theoretical" approach where trauma and social factors are simply two of many potential factors, indicating that "the heat of past DID controversies has diminished some with the rise of multidimensional models of psychopathology".<ref name="boysen2024">{{cite journal |last=Boysen |first=Guy A. |year=2024 |title=Dissociative Identity Disorder: A Review of Research From 2011 to 2021 |journal=Nervous and Mental Disease |volume=212 |pages=174-186 |doi=10.1097/NMD.0000000000001764 |quote=Despite previous assertions about declining interest in DID (Pope et al., 2005), research output increased in the second decade of the 2000s.[...] It appears that the heat of past DID controversies has diminished some with the rise of multidimensional models of psychopathology, and research on the disorder, although limited in several ways, has steadily emerged the second decade of the century |number=3}}</ref>
