DID is the new designation for MPD (multiple personality disorder) which describes a fragmentation in the mind severe enough that alternate personalities are produced, sometimes without recollection or recognition of each other.
I felt a general DID facts thread ought to exist on the mind control portion of this site, because it is a very obscure subject. What Jos does, guided DID, induces alters in shattered subjects. But of course, the textbook DID that any psychology major would learn about in school (albeit, very very briefly as most professionals pretend or believe DID isn't real) is the natural variant, DID that arises as a responses - most probably, to extensive and repeated trauma at a young age.
The controversy over DID stems from a number of things; first of all, DID's connection to "satanic ritual abuse" - which of course, most professionals believe is the product of false memories, or implanted memories, or sheer fantasizing. I'm not sure about Satanic Ritual Abuse. I'm uncomfortable being totally conclusive either way. But sadly, it is true that there are children in our world that grow up in excessively traumatic and scary home environments where becoming a completely fragmented personality might be a believable response - such as to incest or physical abuse over a course of time.
Dissociation refers to a separation of the mind from presence in the physical world - it is an altered state that resembles a trance in some ways. "zoning out" is another word for it. Essentially everybody is mildly disassociative at some time or another, often more then once in a day. The commute to and from work is an easy example of a drive you know so well you could easily dissociate yourself for all of it - you body and senses are driving on "autopilot" in these situations while you daydream. That's what's called a mild dissociation. It's just a part of being human.
DID is of course a much more pronounced form of fragmentation. According to Jos, in what he calls "guided DID" - the induced variety - there is coconsciousness among various alters. This is also, according to some experts, the case among certain DID natural cases. Co-consciousness means that the 'core' shares memories with alters. Obviously the more extreme form of alternate personalities, considerably more rare, contain alters which lose access to the memories of other alters, and that is why they often find themselves with possessions they don't remember how they have or in places they don't remember going to. Kim Noble is a famous DID who has come out about her disorder. She had a vastly traumatic childhood and fun fact she grew up outside the Tavistock Institute.
