Dissociative identity disorder does exist. However, its development is what is in doubt. Trying to explain the development of the disorder as being caused by childhood trauma creates even more doubts as to the existence of the disorder. This makes the diagnosis of dissociative identity disorder greatly controversial in the present-day Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Nevertheless, the existence of the disorder is a reality that makes the functioning of diagnosed patients difficult.
The fact that it is possible to create false ‘realities’ of chronic childhood cruelties in therapy make it possible to manipulate the thoughts ...
