Therapeutic support availability is lamentably low all accross the board in this country - God only knows how such victims must fare. I pray that you're right about reformation 2.0. But we have a long, long way to go.

I was just about to write of my experience when studying for my BSc and Masters in Psychology and I read your post. We too were discouraged from DID research and I had many a debate with lecturers who consistently claimed it as debunked or attributable to 'false memory syndrome'. However we had one lecturer who stood up for DID and had written books and papers in support - it was he who successfully dissuaded me from accepting what was then considered a prestigious post-grad placement with the Tavistock - and gave their involvement in mind control techniques as one of the many reasons. I'm glad he did. He was fired from his post at the end of the year. I know more now and have a fuller understanding as to why. I'm not sure if you're UK based but if you're not then it would lead to this debunking of DID as being a universal standard.

Agreed! It's sad when you think of all the people that could be helped with adequate training, but they won't do that since it would expose SRA/human trafficking. Even worse is that the school is in on it. I can't comprehend the greed that trumps compassion for another human being.

They also removed Narcissism from the DSM 5 manual when in reality its at epidemic proportions. Research into Narcissism has been in reverse since the 70/ 80's while research into even the most obscure of Psychological conditions has risen inexorably - that should tell you something right there.

2011, anything more recent out of curiosity?

not just DID but they are incredibly poorly trained for all dissociative events/issues.

PTSD now includes a dissociative sub-type, yet most aren't trained for it, yet alone even aware of it.

This is their website http://www.b4uact.org/know-the-facts/ . They are on twitter @B4UACT . They claim that adults can have sexual relationships with children in the same way that adults can have relationships with other adults. They also claim that pedophiles (or 'MAPs') have feelings affection and being in love with children.

Children need to be innocent. Too much information destroys that innocence. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/educationopinion/11384246/Too-much-information-destroys-childhood-innocence.html

And children are NOT able to consent. These are the people that children need to be protected from. They are disgusting lowlife predators.

Try this on for size: Christiano, whose personal website features essays arguing for the “sexual autonomy" of children that would allow them to "embrace sensual pleasure as a birthright," says his organization is “invested in dispelling the vitriol which serves only to prevent minor-attracted people from coming to terms with that challenging aspect of themselves and responsibly integrating it into everyday life."

Not only do they try to normalize it but they lobby the American Psychological Association to stop classifying it as a mental illness. This is exactly how homosexuality was normalized.
