Post-traumatic stress after abuse early in life, leading to dissociative actions may be forgotten until late in life. An example of
this is demonstrated in a case report from a resident psychiatric facility in Northern Norway. Under Norwegian Law, acts under
dissociation does not qualify as not fit for standing trial, but may be deemed a partial excuse. In the present case a sentence of 5
months was the result of court proceedings where dissociation was duly taken into account.
