here in america we dont have definitions like median, facet, poly, poly fragmented systems any more, this was changed in may 2013. short version these were psychological terms treatment providers used to better understand their clients, but over time these terms ended up backfiring to where alters and hosts were fighting against each other over things like being called a fragment vs a real alter, instead of being a positive term for treatment providers they turned into slag derogatives\negatives. therefore here in america these labeling\placing alters in categories \sets groupings is no longer used. I know in other countries they may still be labeling,separating , grouping a persons internal system this way but here in america it no longer matters, and is no longer a consideration.

now treatment in america now focuses on stabilization and promoting working together, communication rather than focusing on things like... this alters not a full \real alter or that ones belongs in this grouping so they are not important right now.

all alters /all internal systems are now treated as equals in the mental health community here in america.

that said i do know that there are websites on the internet and media out there that still use these terms. short version what gets posted on the internet is pretty permanent, if the website or poster deletes something theres always a cached version available if that website allowed google or other search engines to have access to the material at any point. and as long as theres a paper book out there published before 2013 its going to include the outdated material.

but if you really want to diagnose and place labels upon you and your internal system the best place to go is to your own treatment providers. they will let you know whats what with in you and your own system. we are not allowed to tell someone that their system is or isnt something, only your own treatment providers can do that based on the diagnostics and definitions used when they diagnosed you.
