<P> In 1994 , the fourth edition of the DSM replaced the criteria again and changed the name of the condition from `` multiple personality disorder '' to the current `` dissociative identity disorder '' to emphasize the importance of changes to consciousness and identity rather than personality . The inclusion of interpersonality amnesia helped to distinguish DID from dissociative disorder not otherwise specified , but the condition retains an inherent subjectivity due to difficulty in defining terms such as personality , identity , ego - state and even amnesia . The ICD - 10 still classifies DID as a `` Dissociative ( conversion ) disorder '' and retains the name `` multiple personality disorder '' with the classification number of F44. 8.81 . </P>
