phoeey I dropped the end bold ...

in John's note under the treatment for D.I.D. he states that;" People who have this disorder believe they have multiple personalities."

It reads quite differently that way. (bold print his emphasis)

Well, ego state is quite different, to me. The ego acts a bit differently as a whole than a "complete" personality... the ego is a defined aspect (and usually a selfish, often negative one lol).

There is already a confusing dx within the personality realm IMHO: borderline personality disorder. So that, with the NOS... I think professionals have enough to choose from... but then, with more and more non clinical professionals adding to the mix, the profession will probably receive more labels to utilize.
