Dependent personality is a set of characteristics guided by behaviors of submission, extreme tolerance and overvaluation to couples. Irrational beliefs express needs, desires, feelings, fears and ideas, which together form the personality and require the study of their characteristics to propose solutions. Therefore, a correlational descriptive research was carried out in order to analyze the personality type of indigenous women and the irrational beliefs of Nizag Community of Alausí town, during the period June-November 2016. The population consisted of 104 indigenous women, but 42 ones were selected by means of intentional sampling based on inclusion criteria. The results were obtained by the application of two psychometric questionnaires. It was observed that 40% of the study population showed a dependent personality and in equal proportions with a 35.7% irrational belief No. 8 "You need to have something bigger and stronger than oneself and it is absolutely necessary to have affection and No. 1 for an adult: the approval of their peers, family and friends".

Dissociation, including multiple personality disorder, has long been a controversial topic. Patients with suggestive symptoms are often misdiagnosed as malingering or even having schizophrenia. The former as a result of the overlooking of a clinician on the fact that suggestibility itself plays a key role in the emergence and perpetuation of this illness and the latter due to the lack of knowledge of the whole dissociative disorder spectrum, often resembling that of a psychotic disorder. Another contributing factor to the small number of patients with this diagnosis is due to the reluctance of a psychiatrist to do so because of his/her lack of experience and also fear of humiliation of being accused of seeking fame from diagnosing this somewhat glamorous phenomenon. In Malaysia, various culture bound syndromes often present with similar symptoms too. This article will attempt to understand this dissociation on the local context using case studies as a reference point.
