It suggests that the dream character, as an hallucinated projection of aspects of the self can be seen as a prototype for the MPD alter. Dreaming may even be a more literal precursor whose physiologic mechanisms for amnesia and the manufacture of alternate identities are recruited in the development of MPD. There are constellations of cognitive and personality processes which operate outside conscious awareness and normally are observable primarily in dreams. Extreme early trauma may mutate or overdevelop these dissociated parts and call upon them to "wake up" and function in the external world. We will describe how that this dream model parallels the observed phenomena of MPD more directly than do explanations relying on waking fantasy processes. 291499 bytes application/pdf en_US Ridgeview Institute and the International Society for the Study of Dissociation Dissociation : Vol. 8, No. 1, p. 061-068 : The dream character as prototype for the multiple personality alter The dream character as prototype for the multiple personality alter Article

Tendler, Rebecca 2005-10-11T20:22:58Z 2005-10-11T20:22:58Z 1995-03 0896-2863 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/1593 p. 045-052 Narcissistic injury is a major component of the sequelae of child abuse. The disregard of the child's basic needs disturbs the development of self-esteem and the ability to function effectively. The field of self psychology describes the effects of narcissistic injury on children and presents therapeutic methods for use within the transference that address the consequent damage to the self. This paper will outline the theory and methodology of self-psychology and discuss its application to the treatment of narcissistic injury in Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) patients. Peculiarities of working within the transference(s) with DID patients will be discussed. 251611 bytes application/pdf en_US Ridgeview Institute and the International Society for the Study of Dissociation Dissociation : Vol. 8, No. 1, p. 045-052 : The treatment of narcissistic injury in dissociative identity disorder patients: the contributions of self psychology The treatment of narcissistic injury in dissociative identity disorder patients: the contributions of self psychology Article

A total of 200 subjects participated in the study: 170 undergraduate students, 15 patients diagnosed as having multiple personality disorder, and 15 patients diagnosed as having an eating disorder. The DES was found to have very high internal consistency for clinical, non-clinical, and combined samples. Internal consistency for the QED was adequate for clinical and combined samples, and slightly lower than acceptable for the non-clinical sample. Examination of convergent validity coefficients supported generally equivalent validity in clinical and nonclinical samples for the two instruments. Both instruments were able to discriminate between dissociative and non-clinical or eating disordered patients, although the DES was somewhat more effective. Using the DES, MPD and eating disordered patients could be discriminated with 100% accuracy. 346418 bytes application/pdf en_US Ridgeview Institute and the International Society for the Study of Dissociation Dissociation : Vol. 8, No. 1, p. 024-031 : Measuring clinical and non-clinical dissociation: a comparison of the DES and QED Measuring clinical and non-clinical dissociation: a comparison of the DES and QED Article

Ilhan Tutkun, Hamdi Sar, Vedat 2005-10-11T20:17:55Z 2005-10-11T20:17:55Z 1995-03 0896-2863 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/1589 p. 010-013 The dissociative experiences scale (DES) is a 28-item self-rating questionnaire measuring dissociation. It is a reliable and valid instrument that is able to distinguish between subjects with a dissociative disorder and those without. It is also a screening test for major dissociative psychopathology in normal and clinical populations. In order to test its validity and reliability, a Turkish version of DES was administered to 25 patients with multiple personality disorder, 23 patients with schizophrenic disorder, 21 patients with bipolar affective disorder, 26 patients with obsessive compulsive disorder and 671 subjects as a non-psychiatric control group. The Turkish version of DES has good split-half and test-retest reliability, internal consistency, and criterion-related validity. It is able to differentiate between subjects with and without chronic, complex dissociative disorders. 260892 bytes application/pdf en_US Ridgeview Institute and the International Society for the Study of Dissociation Dissociation : Vol. 8, No. 1, p. 010-013 : Reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the dissociative experiences scale Reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the dissociative experiences scale Article
