my view of it was. therapists that had no idea of what they were or weren't doing - in the 80's and 90's - diagnosed everyone with parts or no one, the sensationalism, sodium amnytal, promoting clients for 5 minutes of fame, experimental approaches like excorsisms, all sorts of crazy-making stuff. MPD became known for crisises and difficult to treat, untreatable, or malingered - the backlash. that began a slew of court cases, and even those thrown out of court for being frivolous, can cost a career, life savings and cause closures. many skilled DID therapists prefer to keep a low profile, word of mouth, not publicly listing their specialty with associations. it's weird trying to locate an 'underground' therapist. what i viewed as 'sins in the past' was a theraputic community unable to regulate itself. what i read of DNMS protocal is that it super-imposes 'a system' of parts (even just 3) on top of a well-defined DID system and i know for me, that would be viewed as re-abusive in itself. there was mentioned if the parts needed for the 'inner healing circle' were not found or resisted, to "create 2 of those parts" - knowing my experience of 'how parts are created' that is abusive. in the context of ego-state therapy, i can understand how they would be combining traits, etc. DID parts don't combine 'traits' in that way. that is one of the differential traits between them. this was specifically directed towards DID. one of the problems i have is calming parts into trusting a therapist is NOT trying to contol them. it would feel as if the therapist is doing just that - or trying to force a round peg into a square hole. it's not that uncommon of a double-bind.
