Abstract

This book is the product of a Campaign Day which was organised to raise awareness of Dissociative Identity Disorder (''DID''). The Paracelsus Trust undertook to bring people together, and individuals were enabled to tell their story to the audience. As this had been a profoundly moving experience, it was decided to put the presentations into a book and hence this publication. The book recounts some painful personal experiences and some ideas for ways forward, always recognising the pain of the condition and the abuse that precedes it.The Paracelsus Trust is a Charity which exists to support pe

Abstract

Alive, fresh, and stimulating, the theme of The Double comprises the issues of identity, narcissism, and the fear of death--actually the core of human existence. Rank's book is primarily a study of the double as it appeared in striking examples in German, French, Russian, English, and American literature from Goethe to Oscar Wilde.

Abstract

"Que feriez-vous si d’un coup vous vous aperceviez que vous ne vivez plus qu’un jour sur deux ? C’est ce qui arrive à Lubin Maréchal, un jeune homme d’une vingtaine d’années qui, sans qu’il n’en ait le moindre souvenir, se réveille chaque matin alors qu’un jour entier vient de s’écouler. Il découvre alors que pendant ses absences, une autre personnalité prend possession de son corps. Un autre lui-même avec un caractère bien différent du sien, menant une vie qui n’a rien à voir. Pour organiser cette cohabitation corporelle et temporelle, Lubin se met en tête de communiquer avec son « autre », par caméra interposée. Mais petit à petit, l’alter ego prend le dessus et possède le corps de Lubin de plus en plus longtemps, ce dernier s’évaporant progressivement dans le temps. Qui sait combien de jours lui reste-t-il à vivre avant de disparaître totalement ? Au-delà d'un récit fantastique vraiment prenant, Ces jours qui disparaissent pose des questions fortes sur l'identité, la dualité de l'être et le rapport entre le corps et l'esprit."

Abstract

The purpose of this book is to provide understanding of the relationship between childhood trauma and serious mental illness. Dr Colin Ross, one of the most respected North American authorities on Multiple Personality Disorder, writes that his MPD patients have taught him that virtually all psychiatric symptoms are potentially trauma driven and dissociative in nature. He believes that MPD research will shift the paradigm of psychopathology in the direction of a general trauma model, and away from the two dominant schools of twentieth-century psychiatry, the psychoanalytical and the biomedical. The Osiris Complex is a collection of case histories illustrating the clinical roots of the paradigm transformation Dr Ross anticipates. Contrary to prevalent opinion, MPD patients do not have more than one personality; the so-called different personalities are fragmented components of a single personality, abnormally personified and dissociated from each other. Adult patients exhibit core symptoms: voices in the head and ongoing blank spells or periods of missing time. The voices are the different parts of the personality talking to one another and to the main, presenting part of the person who comes for treatment. Periods of missing time occur when aspects of the personality take turns being in control of the body and memory barriers are erected between them. Patients also experience symptoms such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, substance abuse, sleep disorders, sexual dysfunction, psychosomatic symptoms, and symptoms that mimic schizophrenia. MPD patients have experienced the most extreme childhood trauma of any diagnostic group and therefore exhibit the psychobiology and psychopathology of trauma to an extreme degree. The good news is that once diagnosed, the MPD patient can be brought back to health. This book is important for all mental health professionals, and also for the general reader interested in psychiatric phenomena. It will play a powerful role in the social revolution necessary for the recognition of the preponderance, intensity, and hiddenness of severe childhood emotional, physical, and sexual abuse in our culture.

Abstract

Just as the prevalence of incest and child sexual abuse was a well-kept secret until recently, the phenomenon of multiple personality disorder (MPD) - recently re-labelled dissociative identity disorder [DID] - has been minimized. In her practice as a psychologist, Margo Rivera has found this to be no coincidence. Confirming that the root of most severe dissociative conditions lies in severe trauma, most commonly child abuse, Rivera first discusses the general historical and social contexts of dissociation and proceeds through clinical theory, case vignettes, and recorded personal experience to provide practical guidance to assessment and treatment. Rivera covers such topics as 'therapeutic frame, ' 'transference and countertransference, ' and how to understand and make use of these concepts. She discusses the controversies around 'False Memory Syndrome' and ritual abuse, issues which currently divide professionals treating trauma survivors. Rivera makes a unique contribution to the treatment of lesbian and gay abuse survivors. She theorizes that all sexuality is a social construct, subject to change over an individual's lifetime, a reality that is nowhere more clear than in those with MPD who may experience themselves as alternately heterosexual female, homosexual male, lesbian, and heterosexual male. Insightful and provocative, this important therapeutic guide will be of interest to professionals who treat trauma survivors as well as to their clients.
