Rhapsody, I read this:

Because of the intensity of the healing process and the occasional disruption of work and personal life involved in healing, many multiples will talk about leaving therapy at one time or another. Discourage him or her from quitting before integration35 and an adequate period of post-integration therapy. Integration can be frightening for multiples. In addition to the real loss of the separate relationships between alters, an alter often fears that he or she will die, and multiples will often fear big changes in their relationships with friends, relatives and their therapist. With a final integration comes the fear of losing their old coping mechanism of switching between personalities, the ability to be anything and everything to everybody. (Putnam 1989)

Maybe you have a fear hanging up the process?

Don't know if any of these references might help? http://www.issd.org/indexpage/info.htm
