Just found this article on dissociative disorders in Black South Africans. I really ought to read the entire archives of Dissociation...
Also, gotta love the paper saying that none of the patients reported sexual violence, but one of them talked about it extensively while in an agitated state they read as psychotic (dissociatively or otherwise). All the doctors our brother saw did that to him too, and allowed our mother free access to him even though he reported things she'd done to him. Including when he was over 18 and asked not to have any contact with her; they violated HIPAA and told her everything he said.
