A diagnosis that a psychiatrist or therapist gives to a patient. It basically states that the personality is fractured into several distinct parts that behave differently from the original personality. It was once known as multiple personality disorder but psychiatrists changed the term to dissociative identity disorder because they realized they had no clue what they were doing and had to come up with something new and exciting since they were getting paid. Mental health professionals give this diagnosis so they can feel important and special since this disorder is glamorized in the movies. The patient unconsciously wants to please the therapist and read up on the symptoms to present to them. Both therapist and patient feed off each other. Often the patient will get the blame as attention seeking when really it's the therapist that's at fault but gets off the hook because they are the professionals. You will find all patients that enter therapy never had a clue they had the disorder until the therapist told them. It is a therapy induced disorder and will disappear once the patient leaves therapy. But it will reemerge once the patient returns. Plain and simple. From that point forward patients will be confused when something bad happens to them because they will think one of their personalities did it. They will lose all sense of who they are.
Since Julie was diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder her life has been in ruins because she has lost her sense of identity.

A term that protects cultural assimilators when people speak out against them. Supposedly, defined as the race you feel the most connected to. A person who adopts a racial identity might begin to: speak stereotypically, dress in outdated/ stereotypical clothing, change their physical appearance artificially, or state that they want to be reborn into their racial identity. Typically, but not as the exception, adopters of a racial identity are White American teenagers. Certain laws have been put into place to make it harder to protect your own culture from them.

2: Why are you talking like that?

2: Not all Africans are Black, and there are other ways to embrace your heritage.
1: Shut up! You don't understand. Being Black is my racial identity. I'm Black and I've always been Black, Now I just have proof!

A marketing method that shifts the consumer's identity from the consumer to a product to get the consumer to buy it and love it.
Identity transference is a way that marketers distort reality by getting potential car buyers to come to feel that they can become the car they want to buy. After they buy it, they feel they are one with it, and happily spend money to maintain it in the best condition (sometimes better than themselves).
