Attachment, Trauma and Multiplicity: Working with Dissociative Identity Disorder Quotes

“Perhaps DID raises problematic philosophical and psychological concerns about the nature of the mind itself...

“However, it is important to remember that only 15 years ago most major training schools did not accept the existence of child abuse and condemned what they saw as the unhealthy excitement that was considered to emanate from the earliest exponents. The language of their criticism is very similar... to what greets the clinician of today who speaks of DID. It has been a later knowledge that understands the way the shame and trauma of abuse become projected into the professional network leading to splitting and blame.”
