If you are in the Las Vegas, Nevada area this guy has treated over 30 with DID and many with DDNOS. I just got his book Parts Psychology and loving it. I thought I would share this for those that might be near him and need a T.

I struck gold. This is quite the resource.

I just finished translating a documentary about DID.
It is here (split in four parts, because YouTube doesn't allow more than 15 min. unless you authorise yourself) *** see end of post for trigger warnings ***:

I have worked about two full days on it, I'm really proud of it. But there are probably a lot spelling / grammar / language / translation errors, so feel free to PM me . If you want the raw subtitle source, I can send it as well.
(I have never subtitled a movie before, but I have once done some translation work the other way round.)

The original (untranslated) is here:
http://www.uitzendinggemist.nl/afleveringen/1259055
(legal thing: it doesn't belong to me, I just translated it to help other people)

It is about a person having DID, who is followed for 3 years.
It was the first time I came in contact with DID. I found it very interesting, but I didn't expect anything at that time...

Here is a list of potential (strong) triggers:

• Denial/doubt/non-acceptance of the diagnosis whenever the parents are talking.
• Mentions of the cause throughout the video (but not detailed)
• 25:30-30:30 talk about a suicidal personality (including getting it to front) (starts at part 3, and continues till 5:00).
• ~28:00 a few seconds talk about what that personality wants to do
• 29:00-30:25 too much sticking to rules and not taking responsibility (I don't know whether that may trigger, but anyway.)
• 33:50-35:00 talk about two failed suicide attempts (warning: with details. part 3; 8:15-9:25)
• 36:05-38:50 talk about how the sexual abuse happened, but not very specific (the most sensitive parts are avoided, mostly about when it happened) (part 3; 10:30-13:20)
• 41:55-42:25 father wants to take revenge (in a very creepy way...), but won't do that (part 4; 2:15-2:50)

This is a Resource thread that I have made in the hopes of helping others. It contains resource websites about DDNOS/DID, and threads from this forum about common experiences, questions, issues/conflicts/problems, etc., that may be helpful to others who read them.

Haven't finished reading it yet cause it's pretty long. I thought some of you might be interested in reading experiments about both the explicit and implicit memory processing of DID's.

I was going to post this very useful in providing UK residents with info on how to go about getting tested by a DID specialist and how to obtain the Dissociative scales and lots of other things

How do "fragments" fit into a system? I've had fragments and I'm not sure how to represent them when I try to map out my system, which is what I'm focusing on doing. And I'm struggling with it a lot. Basically I'm accomplishing nothing, except the recognition of my confusion.

Quantum: This is a good thread on the subject; dissociative-identity/topic105096.html

Often similar questions pop up, and are answered by links of other posts of the subject. Is it possible to gather them in this board?

I can t read it all at once, it s too much, an d then struggle to find it again?

If it s not possible, that sokay too. Just a suggestion.

Here are 3 threads on this DID Forum about useful self-assessment tools:

Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES). Start with this one. The DES is the gold-standard preliminary screening tool for assessment of dissociative disorders.

Somatoform Dissociation Questionnaire (SDQ-20). This is a screening tool for dissociation with many somatic (body) signs and symptoms.

Cardiff Anomalous Perceptions Scale. This is a screening tool for the many kinds of experiences that we have, such as seeing things and hearing things, that are often incorrectly presumed to be evidence of psychosis.
