Dissociation refers to a psychological defense mechanism in which consciousness detaches itself from thoughts, feelings, memories, or one's own identity. In a mild form, dissociation occurs as daydreaming or a feeling of unreality (depersonalization, derealization). In severe form \u2013 particularly as a result of severe, repeated trauma \u2013 it can lead to Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID, formerly Multiple Personality Disorder), in which different identity parts take control of experience and behavior. For thriller literature, dissociative disorder is a central tool for an unreliable narrator: the main character experiences gaps in their memory, doesn't know what they did during the missing hours, and finds traces they can't explain. The reader is drawn into the same uncertainty. Particularly effective: the revelation that the main character themselves could be both perpetrator and victim \u2013 a paradigm shift that retrospectively re-encodes everything that has been read.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
