A1 - Derecho, D.V. SP - 19 EP - 36 VL - 21 IS - 3 N2 - Dissociative identity disorder (DID) has been studied from several vantage points. From the psycholegal perspective, DID has been associated with aggressive behaviors. The relationship between DID and aggression is complex and may involve controversial psychiatric-legal issues. In this article we present a case of DID and aggression and discuss it from a biopsychosociocultural perspective. The use of psychosociocultural approaches in elucidating DID is explored.
