I noticed that most of the periodicals you have listed are over 10 years old...and believe it or not...mental health profession has changed their stance on MPD/DID quite a bit since then (even with the last revision of the DSM, quite a bit of the old defintion was removed)...
But there are therapists that belong in several camps: some that don't believe there's such thing as disassociation/multiple personalities, then those that just want to only talk to the "host" and want to integrate everyone...
Usually camp #2 - are really inexperienced therapists.
The thing is - If the system/folks feel that's what they need - I'm not going to convince them otherwise, but I also don't believe in forcing it (integration) either. You can be disordered and be multiple...that exists as well as being healthy and multiple.
Integration isn't used as often as a therapy tool/plan as it used to be. MPD/DID also isn't diagnosed as often either...
Too bad that you don't have recent data...on this...cause basically DID isn't really diagnosed anymore...why you might not find any...
