The authors take into account the psychopathological issue of "metamorphosis" (or transformation of the Self) firstly with the observation of some clinical cases. The psychopathological problem is set as a disorder of the s.c. "awareness of the Self" and considered in the light of a close relationship with the subjective body experience. The clinical discussion on the metamorphosis problem is developed taking also into account the data coming from the anthropological research.

We present proposed changes to the dissociative disorders section of the 4th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders and review the concept of pathological and nonpathological dissociation, including empirical findings on the relations between trauma and dissociative phenomenology and between dissociation and hypnosis. The most important proposals include the creation of two new diagnostic entities, brief reactive dissociative disorder and transient dissociative disturbance, and the readoption of the criterion of amnesia for a multiple personality disorder diagnosis. We conclude that further work on dissociative processes will provide an important link between clinical and experimental approaches to human cognition, emotion, and personality.
