Dissociative identity disorder means a mental pathology that involves the normal interaction of the most important psychic processes of the human mind, bringing the one who is afflicted by it, to be no longer fully aware of himself and his actions. Among the various mental disorders within the DSM is perhaps the most specific to damage the conscious side of a person. The concept of awareness is very difficult to internalize and this is often taken for granted. Those who are unaware of their actions, if they commit a crime, are declared not imputable and for them a rehabilitative path opens up within structures for the execution of the security measures suitable for their psychiatric condition, these institutes are called R.E.M.S.
