Polyfragmented Quotes

“From mind control to programming Foa and Kozak (1986) note that pathological fear structures, including unrealistic elements that may become associated with states of absorption and heightened arousal often attendant with extreme stress, are extremely resistant to modification. Hence, the power of all statements made during and immediately after abusive episodes while the victim is in an altered state will be enhanced by the absence of an operative critical consciousness (Conway, 1994), and by the indelible connection with intolerable terror or dread. Psychologically sophisticated abusers who have mastered the methods of mind control know how to induce psychobiological state changes, how to elaborate and encapsulate them, how to provide the cues to trigger them, how to tap into and alter the victim's motivational and belief systems, and how to layer amnesias within a personality. In this way a polyfragmented dissociative individual can appear to lead the life of a normal hardworking citizen, yet can function undetected (by himself or by others) as a mind-controlled operative and remain available for service to individual perpetrators or groups.”

“Experience indicates that the more severe and/or ritualistic the abuse suffered as a child, the more fragmented is the adult patient's personality and thinking. Victims of satanic abuse are likely to exhibit polyfragmented atypical dissociative disorder (ADD) (dissociative disorder NOS) or polyfragmented MPD. Some victims of incest may not exhibit any exaggerated or special dissociative psychopathology.”

“Severity and the ritual nature of abuse has a significant causative relationship with polyfragmentation in A.D.D. and/or in M.P.D. Ritual, satanic abuse is usually administered by parents and other family cult members, and incest is of necessity involved. Incestuous abuse is not necessarily related to the most severe, polyfragmented forms of MPD; however, ritual abuse, with or without incest, is the most common underlying cause of polyfragmentation for MPD or dissociative disorders NOS.”

“Polyfragmentation and Engineered DID Over 20 years ago, I was made aware of a subset of patients with DID who did not develop DID organically but as a deliberate creation through trauma-based mind control. These clients present differently from those with organic DID and have different needs to be met in therapy. From early childhood, they have been subjected to a form of human slavery where their minds have been systematically fractured with traumatic experiences and then rebuilt in such a way that they could be programmed and controlled over the course of their lifespan by handlers. The people with engineered DID challenge even the most sophisticated and experienced trauma clinicians, because part of their programming is to avoid detection and foil treatment with therapists. The groups that 'train' these people consider them expensive assets and will not let them leave or heal easily. They surround the programming and parts with various 'booby traps' that can derail therapy, confuse or distract the therapist, and disable or even kill the client. It is a very specific subspecialty in trauma treatment, one that requires a great deal of education and support to do well.”

“Extreme versions of DID occasionally develop in response to particularly horrific ongoing trauma (e.g., children exploited through involvement in years of forced prostitution), with so-called poly-frgamentation, encompassing dozens or even hundreds of personality states. In general, the complexity of dissociative symptoms appears to be consistent with the severity of early traumatiation. That is, less severe abuse will result in fewer dissociative symptoms, and more severe abuse will result in more complex dissociative disorders.”

“In principle, the number of parts of the personality in a given individual has little bearing on whether dissociation is at the secondary or tertiary level. A patient with secondary structural dissociation may have many EPs, while a patient with tertiary structural dissociation may only have two ANPs and two EPs. However, in general, more divisions relate to less mental efficiency and more likelihood that a traumatized individual will have tertiary structural dissociation.”

“Polyfragmented Dissociative Identity Disorder A form of DID that often involves over one hundred DID personality states and is likely to be the result of cult abuse or some other form of extreme sadistic abuse that extends over a long period and often involves multiple perpetrators.”

“Whilst DID can be diagnosed with the presence of only two or more distinct parts/'self-states", survivors of chronic and complex abuse, or of organized or ritualized abuse may have many, many more parts. This is called "polyfragmentation" - quite literally "many fragments".”

“One clue that you might have a case of engineered rather than organic DID on your hands could be the intense feelings of being deskilled and inadequate that arise in you as you are treating one of these clients. They puzzle and confuse even the most experienced of therapists until their multiplicity is recognized as engineered. Another sign might be the sudden appearance of self-harm, compulsions, or 'crazy' behavior after patient disclosures. These people have trip wires layered into their programming that are set to 'go off' whenever a therapist gets too close to a hidden truth or when the client remembers something new. These booby trap programs can look like: • sudden suicidal impulses out of nowhere, especially ones that are 'supposed to look like an accident'. as one client told me • scrambled words or word salad in a client that has no history of schizophrenia • an abrupt nonnegotiable firing of the therapist when the client is making progress • pseudoseizures—episodes that look like grand mal seizures or dropping into a semi-conscious state with no EEC evidence of seizure activity • feelings of being electrically 'shocked' at different places on the body • recurrent and constant migraines • an unexplained compulsion to return to a previously abusive environment that they have successfully left, such as an abusive family of origin or spouse, especially at certain times of the year such as Halloween.”
