How you can help About Trauma What Is Dissociative Identity Disorder? available from Sidran in packages of 50 for a small fee. The growing recognition of psychiatric conditions resulting from traumatic influences is a significant mental health issue of the 1990s. Until recently considered rare and mysterious psychiatric curiosities, Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) (until very recently known as Multiple Personality Disorder - MPD) and other Dissociative Disorders (DD) are now understood to be fairly common effects of severe trauma in early childhood, most typically extreme, repeated physical, sexual, and/or emotional abuse. In 1994, with the publication of the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-IV , Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) was changed to Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), reflecting changes in professional understanding of the disorder, which resulted largely from increased empirical research of trauma-based dissociative disorders. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), widely accepted as a major mental illness affecting 9-10% of the general population, is closely related to Dissociative Identity Disorder (MPD) and other Dissociative Disorders (DD). In fact, as many as 80-100% of people diagnosed with DID (MPD) also have a secondary diagnosis of PTSD. The personal and societal cost of trauma disorders [including DID (MPD), DD, and PTSD] is extremely high. For example, recent research suggests the risk of suicide attempts among people with trauma disorders may be even higher than among people who have major depression. In addition, there is evidence that people with trauma disorders have higher rates of alcoholism, chronic medical illnesses, and abusiveness in succeeding generations.

Keenan, New City article, 1995-JUN-22: " The Devil and Dr. Braun ." "...students often ask me whether multiple personality disorder (MPD) really exists. I usually reply that the symptoms attributed to it are as genuine as hysterical paralysis and seizures." Dr. Paul McHugh " I have this head shrinker and he says...[MPD is]...deliberately induced because the CIA is where they started inducing it when after they brought all the Nazis over from Germany to run American Psychiatric Association....It is all mind control and all kinds of things to invent people with multiple personalities.... I believe the government has implanted some kind of a chip into my head where... [my thoughts are] monitored by Barbara Walters and these other women. And they take all my ideas...I think [Oprah] sits with her finger on the switch to the chip....several times I wondered if I had multiple personality disorder. In fact, or if I was just from another planet."

Dissociative Identity Disorder (formerly Multiple Personality Disorder) Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), previously referred to as multiple personality disorder (MPD), is a dissociative disorder involving a disturbance of identity in which two or more separate and distinct personality states (or identities) control the individual's behavior at different times. When under the control of one identity, the person is usually unable to remember some of the events that occurred while other personalities were in control. The different identities, referred to as alters, may exhibit differences in speech, mannerisms, attitudes, thoughts, and gender orientation. The alters may even differ in "physical" properties such as allergies, right-or-left handedness, or the need for eyeglass prescriptions. These differences between alters are often quite striking. The person with DID may have as few as two alters, or as many as 100. The average number is about 10. Often alters are stable over time, continuing to play specific roles in the person's life for years. Some alters may harbor aggressive tendencies, directed toward individuals in the person's environment, or toward other alters within the person. At the time that a person with DID first seeks professional help, he or she is usually not aware of the condition. A very common complaint in people with DID is episodes of amnesia, or time loss. These individuals may be unable to remember events in all or part of a proceeding time period. They may repeatedly encounter unfamiliar people who claim to know them, find themselves somewhere without knowing how they got there, or find items that they don't remember purchasing among their possessions.

6. Dissociative Identity Disorder As A Not To Know Strategy An article by Mona Barbera, Ph.D. http://www.nesttd.org/nottoknow.htm

Dissociative Identity Disorder as a "Not to Know Strategy" by Mona Barbera, Ph.D. In the September/October 1999 issue of the ISSD (International Society for the Study of Dissociation ) newsletter, ISSD president Peter Barach lists 10 changes in the treatment of DID that have occurred in the past 10 years. Number 3 is "Focusing on the dissociative patient as a whole." He writes, "Along these lines, I have found that referring to DID as the 'not to know strategy' can facilitate this shift in focus." Some of my patients and I like this and find it useful in treatment because it is non-pathological, describing a strategy rather than a disorder. DID in adulthood is, of course, a disorder, causing much difficulty and dysfunction in daily living. It should stay in the DSM and should be treated as a psychological problem. But the etiology of DID in childhood, engendered in experiences of abuse, suggests that it arose originally as a strategy, as a way to avoid full conscious experiencing of something intolerable. Calling it the "not to know strategy" emphasizes the functionality of the dissociative splits. They were, in effect, a way not to know everything all at once. "Not to know" includes not knowing actual events, and also their attendant emotions, cognitions and behaviors. Blocking all or part of this knowing allows a child to function.

The person experiences an event or events which the mind is unable to deal with. The person may seem to be somewhere else. The person may act in ways that are so out of character that they seem to be another person. In the past this was referred to as MPD or multiple personality disorder. DID is a common reaction to severe emotional trauma. The trauma may be a single event; children may experience DID after a natural disaster such as a hurricane, or it may be trauma which takes place over an extended period of time. Sexual, emotional or physical abuse are examples of long term events that can cause DID. Some of the symptoms listed above are explained in greater detail here- Depression Depression when exhibited with other symptoms of DID may be classified as severe or 'clinical depression'.

Dissociative Identity Disorder: An Analytical Overview Jacqueline Costello York College of Pennsylvania Abstract Dissociative identity disorder (DID) is not a new phenomena, yet it has remained controversial for years. Formerly multiple personality disorder, DID has many in the field of psychology undecided if it should even be included in the DSM-IV without reservation. This paper will discuss the opinions of board certified American psychiatrists concerning DID and the various reasons why many remain skeptical about this disorder. The DSM-IV criteria, alleged claims of abuse, cultural specificity, and the clinical defining features of dissociative identity disorder will be discussed. The treatment of traumatic memories and the effectiveness of this treatment will also be discussed in this paper. Dissociative Identity Disorder: Controversies and Treatments Dissociative Identity Disorder, formerly Multiple Personality Disorder remains a highly controversial disorder.

I have taken a chance and have created a page here all about me. This site came in to creation in several ways. I am a survivor of child abuse, both physical and sexual abuse as well as the emotional abuse that came hand in hand with what they did to me. I also am healing and surviving from a sexual assault. After the assault, I spent many hours searching the web for information on how to survive this horrible thing that had happened. I found lots of information on prevention and lots of technical things but not a whole lot on surviving. This was back in late 1995. So, when I found geocities and saw that they offered a free web page service, I was excited. It gave me the possiblity to create the type of site that I had been searching for. So, Mollykat's Resources for Survivors was created.

Guidelines for Treatment Introduction Diagnostic Procedures Treatment Planning Psychotherapy ... Contact us Guidelines for Treating Dissociative Identity Disorder (Multiple Personality Disorder) in Adults (1997) Members of the 1996 Executive Council were Elizabeth Bowman, MD, James Chu, MD, Colin Ross, MD, Nancy Perry, PhD, Jean Goodwin, MD, Marlene Steinberg, MD, John Curtis, MD, Peter Barach, PhD, Susan Oke, Bsc OT (C), and Esther Giller, MA. Introduction By Peter M. Barach, Ph.D. Former Chair, Standards of Practice Committee At its meeting in Vancouver, BC, Canada, in May 1994, the Executive Council of ISSD adopted "Guidelines for Treating Dissociative Identity Disorder (Multiple Personality Disorder) in Adults (1994)." The guidelines present a broad outline of what has thus far seemed to be effective treatment for DID. The guidelines are not intended to replace the therapist’s clinical judgment, but they do aim to summarize what most commonly has been found to benefit DID patients. Where a clear divergence of opinion exists in the field, the guidelines attempt to present both sides of the issue. Guidelines like these are never finished. This revision is the first since the adoption of the guidelines in 1994. The Executive Council is aware of several areas that the present guidelines overlook, such as partial hospitalization/day treatment programs and the treatment of children with DID. In addition to adding new domains, future revisions of the guidelines will take account of new knowledge arising in the dissociative disorders field.
