Dissociative disorders are complex and multifaceted mental disorders that affect the individual in many ways. There are types such as dissociative identity disorder, dissociative amnesia, depersonalization and derealization. The aim of this review study is to examine what dissociative disorders are, how they are defined, their symptoms and treatment. In this study, the review method was used and no scale or field study was conducted. In the examination of this study, articles in the Google Scholar database, theses in YÖK Thesis and books on the subject were examined. As a result of the sources examined, it was concluded that dissociative disorders occur due to childhood traumas and there is no definite therapy program. It was concluded that medication and psychotherapy should be used together. In addition, it was among the results of the study that dissociation can be seen not only in dissociative disorders but also with other pathologies. In this context, it is emphasized that early diagnosis and appropriate psychotherapeutic interventions are important and it is recommended to increase research on this subject.
