“…These hypotheses suggest that dissociation might diminish the dissonant conflict between experiences of self-in-the-world and self-in-WT. In early treatments for warrelated PTSD and amnesia, this clash of realities would increase dissociation and deepen amnesia, or exacerbate the overt symptoms (P. Brown et al, 1999). When a WT participants behaviour becomes socially unacceptable, they may be punished (Porter, 2023), dismissed by ghosting, where everyone pretends to neither see or hear them, or removed for solo experiences, and sometimes called the Mask of Black (Rosen, 2021), until compliance is achieved.…”

Wilderness and adventure therapy (WT, AT) have employed cognitive or adaptive dissonance and involuntary treatment for decades. Cognitive dissonance occurs when people are faced with situations that do not confirm their expectations. Past WT participants have protested that involuntary, inescapable and harsh conditions harmed them through PTSD and dissociation. We compare dissonance and dissociation using a critical realist and argumentative research process using publicly available data. We argue that dissociation is a response, recorded both in the design of WT and in participant statement, that is mistaken for dissonance. Deliberate use of forced cognitive dissonance during involuntary treatments are also the conditions that may cause dissociation. Therefore, planning to enforce cognitive dissonance during coercive WT or AT is likely to be harmful and, knowing of this potential, may be regarded as malpractice.

“…Moreover, according to the psychodynamic framework, the concept of dissociation involves and is related to the intra-psychic defenses, emerging as the effect of long-term trauma and/or severe psychologic stress. 5 In this light, pathologic and adaptive dissociative phenomena may be considered and treated as different entities. 6 These conceptual and clinical differences are consistent with the diathesis stress model for development of the disease.…”

Dissociative phenomena are common among psychiatric patients; the presence of these symptoms can worsen the prognosis, increasing the severity of their clinical conditions and exposing them to increased risk of suicidal behavior. Personality disorders as long duration stressful experiences may support the development of dissociative phenomena. In 933 psychiatric outpatients consecutively recruited, presence of dissociative phenomena was identified with the Dissociative Experience Scale (DES). Dissociative phenomena were significantly more severe in the group of people with mental disorders and/or personality disorders. All psychopathologic traits detected with the symptom checklist-90-revised had a significant correlation with the total score on the DES. Using total DES score as the dependent variable, a linear regression model was constructed. Mental and personality disorders which were associated with greater severity of dissociative phenomena on analysis of variance were included as predictors; scores from the nine scales of symptom checklist-90-revised, significantly correlated to total DES score, were used as covariates. The model consisted of seven explanatory variables (four factors and three covariates) explaining 82% of variance. The four significant factors were the presence of borderline and narcissistic personality disorder, substance abuse disorders and psychotic disorders. Significant covariates were psychopathologic traits of anger, psychoticism and obsessiveness. This study, confirming Janet’s theory, explains that, mental disorders and psychopathologic experiences of patients can configure the chronic stress condition that produces functional damage to the adaptive executive system. The symptoms of dissociative depersonalization/derealization and dissociative amnesia can be explained, in large part, through their current and previous psychopathologic experiences.
