Many patients with kleptomania report an altered state of consciousness during acts of theft. The purpose of this investigation was to clarify a possible link between dissociation and kleptomania, a disabling disorder whose phenomenology remains understudied. 26 adult outpatients who met DSM-IV criteria for kleptoania were administered the Dissociative Experiences Scale and compared to 22 normal controls. The patients with kleptomania had scores that differed significantly from those reported by normal controls. There were no statistically significant differences by sex. Because kleptomania patients seeking treatment with medication may differ from others with kleptomania, further studies are needed.
许多患有盗窃癖的患者报告称，在盗窃行为发生时意识状态会发生改变。本调查的目的是阐明分离性障碍与盗窃癖之间可能存在的联系，盗窃癖是一种致残性疾病，其现象学仍未得到充分研究。对26名符合《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第四版盗窃癖标准的成年门诊患者进行了分离体验量表测试，并与22名正常对照组进行了比较。盗窃癖患者的得分与正常对照组报告的得分有显著差异。按性别划分无统计学显著差异。由于寻求药物治疗的盗窃癖患者可能与其他盗窃癖患者不同，因此需要进一步研究。
