The concept of dissociation has been reviewed and redefined. It was also compared with other mental mechanisms. In the past, the process of dissociation and the content of the dissociation have often been lumped together although they are separate frames of reference. Moreover, very different psychic elements may be dissociated including memories, affects, and psychic structure. Dissociation is an important mental mechanism that plays a very significant role in people's adaptational efforts. In addition, dissociation is the underlying mechanism in a number of defense mechanisms. Repression, intellectualization, splitting, and other defense mechanisms rely upon dissociation to accomplish their specific tasks. Dissociation is thus believed to be the underlying and basic mechanism of many aspects of mental functioning.
解离的概念已得到回顾和重新定义。它还与其他心理机制进行了比较。过去，解离的过程和解离的内容常常被混为一谈，尽管它们是不同的参照框架。此外，非常不同的心理元素都可能被解离，包括记忆、情感和心理结构。解离是一种重要的心理机制，在人们的适应努力中发挥着非常重要的作用。此外，解离是多种防御机制的潜在机制。压抑、理智化、分裂及其他防御机制都依赖解离来完成其特定任务。因此，解离被认为是心理功能诸多方面的潜在和基本机制。
