He seems that way to me too. I won't work with him because he seems so arrogant, and his CBT makes it seem like he's got it all sewn up, so easy.

quote DLH: "MY question is why is he so well known? Because he has very good research on DID and related issues or because he sells himself well and there are not that many Dr.'s in the field?"

GOOD QUESTION!
His trauma model makes sense, so I guess it works for me (especially attachment to the perpetrator). But, true enough, there probably aren't that many "competitors"?
