Valid points ___zh. My concern is that the primary topic has been hijacked. Most of the responses in this thread are related to:

a.) Trauma, dissociation and breaks with reality -- issues that already have a thread devoted to them within this forum, and;

b.) The credibility of Wikipedia as a source. Personally, I invest a great deal of time in my sources. As much as possible I quote clinicians in the field and cite medical journals. If someone wishes to dispute a link I've included they are welcome to do so, however I don't as a general rule link to Wikipedia.
