Can Neglect Alone Cause DID?

Yes. Neglect is inherently traumatizing to children. Being forced to act as a parent to one’s self, having your needs left unmet by the caregivers, who you are forced to depend on because you are a child… these things are traumatic. A big component in developing DID is ‘disorganized attachment’. This happens when the caregiver of a child fails to create a stable, safe environment where their needs are met. Children instinctively know to seek help from/rely on the adults around them, however, so they will still seek care from their distant caregiver. To put the connection with DID into the simplest terms, when a child is neglected by their caregiver, they cannot form a stable attachment. The urge to bond with the caregiver and be close is still there, but the caregiver’s responses are atypical and/or erratic. So a child may act in many different ways in order to get the attention/care that’s so necessary or to avoid the hurt of not receiving care as it should be given. A child may be overtly 'needy’ and whiny’, angry and explosive, sullen and withdrawn, or express any other number of personality traits/strategies for receiving the care they need. The child cannot incorporate the various disorganized strategies and feelings they need to cope with a distant, neglectful caregiver into a single coherent personality. So DID forms.
