He says the experience of non-traumagenic plurals is entirely valid, but also distinct from traumagenic DID.  He says that final fusion or integration is not the only treatment goal, nor a decision for the therapist to make.  He distinguishes the anthropological experience of multiplicity as a new phenomenon and a completely different thing than DID.  He shares about his research, when intentional dissociation does become maladaptive or abnormal, and what clinical trends are happening globally.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/18uunvqcQKqDTQhH7HAhE6dNvg69qq_JE1UGLxYKn8Y/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzU4MC8xNTQzMjQx/NjAxLWFydHdvcmsu/anBn.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
