The Haunted Self book available online to read

Abstract wrote:Although undergoing integration treatment and achieving intrapsychic integration is
widely considered an unmitigated positive outcome for individuals diagnosed with dissociative
identity disorder, the literature suggests that integration, which may include experiences or
perceptions of loss, may be an outcome of far more complicated and varied resonance than is
generally acknowledged. This theoretical study examines this little-examined element of the
treatment outcome—the phenomenon of an individual’s experience or perception of loss
following integration treatment. The phenomenon is analyzed through two theoretical frames:
(1) ambiguous loss theory, a conceptual framework developed by Pauline Boss to explain the
experiences of arrested grief and unclear loss that often arise in conditions wherein a loved one is
physically absent but psychologically present or physically present but psychologically absent
(Boss, 1999); (2) a Foucauldian discursive analytic (2006 [1961]), through which the shifting
discourse of DID classification and treatment are traced in order to de-center the predominant
taken-for-granted discourse of DID and highlight the varied subjective experiences of post-
integration. In so doing, this analysis aims to widen the discourse of DID such that it becomes
more inclusive and reflective of a multiplicity of perceptions, experiences and conceptualizations
of DID and integration treatment, thereby shifting the discourse away from the prevailing
understanding of the phenomenology and treatment of DID, in which intrapsychic integration is
widely considered to be a preferred treatment outcome with wholly positive effects.
