Medicalized Multiplicity

Also, okay guys, the alphabet soup for Multiple Personality Disorder, Dissociative Identity Disorder, Dissociative Disorder Not Otherwise Specified, Otherwise Specified Dissociative Disorder, and Unspecified Dissociative Disorder is just way too much of a fucking mouthful. (And that's still not including the trance disorders and crap.) MPD/DID/DDNOS was still somewhat manageable to say, but MPD/DID/DDNOS/OSDD/USDD is absurd.

I vote we just call it all medicalized multiplicity and give up.

Sylvans: Deconstructing Structural Dissociation

Hey guys, Sylvans System wrote a big critique on the book the Haunted Self, by Van Hart, Nijenhuis, and Steele!  I haven't had a chance to read the book yet (and everything I've heard says that I will find it a miserable slog), but if you're curious about it and how it frames medical multiplicity, might be worth a read!
