Abstract
This study investigated the prevalence of dissociative experiences in a normal British sample. The Dissociation Experiences Scale of Bernste in and Putnam was used to measure these experiences. The relationship between dissociative experiences and personality variables measured by the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire was a major focus of the study. It was found that the degree of dissociative experiences was related to neuroticism, but not to any other variable.
