  • Understanding the Relationship Between Media Use and Maladaptive Daydreaming
    UNDERSTANDING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MEDIA USE AND MALADAPTIVE DAYDREAMING A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Communication, Culture, and Technology By Handan Uslu, B.S. Washington, DC April 28, 2015 Copyright 2015 by Handan Uslu All Rights Reserved ii UNDERSTANDING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MEDIA USE AND MALADAPTIVE DAYDREAMING Handan Uslu, B.S. Thesis Advisor: D. Linda Garcia, Ph.D. Thesis Reader: Leticia Bode, Ph. D. ABSTRACT Previous research about maladaptive daydreaming revealed media consumption’s role as a trigger and accompaniment of maladaptive daydreaming. This thesis builds on the previous literature, and explores how media consumption goes in tandem with maladaptive daydreaming by focusing on the behavioral dimensions of media use and daydreaming. For this purpose, literature from psychology, neuroscience, cultural studies, and media studies are synthesized. Daydreaming and media use are conceptualized as cultural practices that can be potentially addictive due to the rewarding experiences they provide. Subsequently, the relationship between maladaptive daydreaming and media use are analyzed in the context of the current interactive online media architecture. Specifically, maladaptive daydreaming patterns are analyzed in regard to three levels of media use: media use as a trigger for daydreaming, media use as an accompaniment of daydreaming, and online media use patterns as they relate to maladaptive daydreaming. To address these relationships, quantitative research is conducted. Postings were made to online platforms about maladaptive daydreaming, and an online survey is administered to 141 people who self-identify as maladaptive daydreamers.

  • Assessing and Treating Complex Dissociative Disorders
    1 Treating Complex Dissociative Disorders Assessing and Treating Complex Dissociative Disorders In Courtois, C. A., & Ford, J. A. (Eds.) (in press, 2019). Treating complex traumatic stress disorders (2nd ed.). New York: Guilford. Kathy Steele Metropolitan Psychotherapy Associates, Atlanta, GA Onno van der Hart Utrecht University, Utrecht, The Netherlands 2 Treating Complex Dissociative Disorders This chapter focuses on the two dissociative disorders that manifest in distinctive dissociative symptoms and include a division or compartmentalization of sense of self and identity. These complex disorders are considered to be extreme reactions to developmental trauma and require a specific treatment approach. They include Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) and Other Specified Dissociative Disorder-Type 1 (OSDD-1; APA, 2013). OSDD includes a diverse range of four dissociative problems, but OSDD-1 is considered to be very much like DID with less distinct symptoms. Because there are so many phenomena that are now considered to be dissociative, this chapter will briefly explore the several definitions of dissociation, as they have different treatment implications, as well as offer a brief overview of assessment and treatment of OSDD-1 and DID. Definitions of Dissociation in the Literature More and more symptoms have been brought under the umbrella of dissociation since its original and more limited description over a century ago (Janet, 1907). Subsequently, dissociation has been defined as (1) a “normal” experience involving attentional phenomena such as absorption, detachment, and imaginative involvement; (2) physiological hypo-arousal with resulting disconnection from present experience; (3) a broad array of symptoms of depersonalization and derealization; and (4) a “pathological” type involving trauma-related division of personality and identity.

  • Maladaptive Daydreaming: a Qualitative Inquiry
    P1: GDX Journal of Contemporary Psychotherapy [jcp] ph150-jocp-452335 September 28, 2002 11:49 Style file version June 4th, 2002 Journal of Contemporary Psychotherapy, Vol. 32, Nos. 2/3, Fall 2002 (C 2002) Maladaptive Daydreaming: A Qualitative Inquiry Eli Somer, Ph.D. Maladaptive daydreaming (MD) is extensive fantasy activity that replaces human interaction and/or interferes with academic, interpersonal, or vocational function- ing. This qualitative inquiry explored the nature and experience of MD. Six patients in a trauma practice were identified as displaying MD. Four participants were di- agnosed as suffering from a dissociative disorder; two were given the diagnosis of narcissistic personality disorder. Cross-sectional analysis of respondents’ ver- batim transcripts yielded nine themes clustered into three categories (Functions, Themes, and Dynamics) that best captured the fantasizing experience. Identified MD functions included Disengagement from Stress and Pain by Mood Enhance- ment and Wish Fulfillment Fantasies; and Companionship, Intimacy, and Soothing. Recurrent MD themes were Violence; Idealized Self; Power and Control; Captivity; Rescue and Escape; and Sexual Arousal. Motifs that were classified as describ- ing MD dynamics were Onset and Kinesthetic elements. Although MD seemed to have been preceded by a normal childhood propensity for creative imagination, aversive circumstances were seen to have contributed to the development of MD. Theoretical explanations for the development and function of MD are discussed. KEY WORDS: daydreaming;

Most studies on MD were carried out on aggregated international samples, using translated versions of the Maladaptive Daydreaming Scale (MDS-16). However, it is unknown whether the properties of MD are affected by culture. Thus, we investigated the cross-cultural measurement invariance of the MDS-16. Methods: We recruited both individuals self-identified as suffering from MD and non-clinical community participants from four countries: the USA, Italy, Turkey, and the UK (N 5 1,081). Results: Configural invariance was shown, suggesting that the hy- pothesized four-factor structure of the MDS-16 (including Yearning, Impairment, Kinesthesia, and Music) holds across cultures.

  • When Does Obsessive Daydreaming Become a Mental Illness?
    + UNITED KINGDOM EDITION ILLUSTRATIONS BY BEN THOMSON Life When Does Obsessive Daydreaming Become a Mental Illness? People with maladaptive daydreaming disorder spend countless hours engrossed in vivid, complex daydreams – and many say they can't stop, even though their elaborate fantasy life is destroying their reality.

It makes her feel "safe, warm, excited, happy, content and balanced," but she also suspects it is the reason she has never married. She's a police detective. She would be horriñed if anyone knew. Bill's sessions can last eight hours. The facility manager does it in the dark in his bedroom or on long solitary walks as he listens to the same playlist on repeat. He once walked ñve hours straight without realizing; when he ñnally stopped he looked down and saw his heels were bleeding. For Julia, a job is out of the question because "triggers are everywhere." Instead she laughs, cries, sings, talks out loud, then re-emerges from the fog hours later, drained. It swallows up to seventy percent of her time. She thinks her friends might have noticed something's up. In 2002, Dr Eli Somer, a professor of clinical psychology from the University of Haifa in Israel, noticed that six of the 24 child abuse survivors he was treating at the time "occasionally alluded to this secretive, internal fantasy life that they lived."

  • Prevalence of Maladaptive Daydreaming Among Medical Students at the University of Khartoum, Sudan, in 2020–2021 Moez Mohammed Ibrahim Bashir
    Bashir Middle East Current Psychiatry (2021) 28:41 Middle East Current https://doi.org/10.1186/s43045-021-00122-8 Psychiatry RESEARCH Open Access Prevalence of maladaptive daydreaming among medical students at the University of Khartoum, Sudan, in 2020–2021 Moez Mohammed Ibrahim Bashir Abstract Background: Daydreaming is a normal cognitive phenomenon in which the individual experiences a temporary separation from reality during which contact with reality is compromised and, to some extent, replaced by a visionary fantasy. On the other hand, daydreaming can progress to a maladaptive state, known as maladaptive daydreaming. The aim of this study was to help understand the full scope of maladaptive daydreaming among medical students at the University of Khartoum, in Sudan, by displaying all maladaptive daydreaming-related statistics among studied population. An analytical cross-sectional university-based study was conducted during the academic year 2020–2021, using a total of 323 self-administered online questionnaires; the questionnaire containing the Arabic Version of Maladaptive Daydreaming Scale and other sociodemographic data were given by stratified random selection to undergraduate medical students at the University of Khartoum, in Sudan, between December and January 2021. Results: 34.3% of medical students at the University of Khartoum have identified themselves as maladaptive daydreamers. More males were found to be maladaptive daydreamers when compared to female medical students. The average Maladaptive Daydreaming Scale score among medical students was found to be 33.6 (sd=22.3). No significant correlation was found between Maladaptive Daydreaming Scale score and gender, and there was a significant correlation between the MDS score and the academic class of medical students at University of Khartoum.
