I was comparing and contrasting two websites about the word 'iatrogenic' dx on psych forums.com....Different user name though. Anyway, if you go there just know I tend to take the side of licensed clinical social worker on website two. Anyway, from my understanding the word 'iatrogenic' means caused from examination or from treatment. What I want to ask you, UglyDuck, you got diagnosed incorrectly with multiple personality disorder? This is intriguing that you was misdiagnosed in the 80s and never noticed why you got diagnoses with that......Wow, at the same time I'm sorry this happened to you. ..Well, I would just focus on managing dissocation, depression...Dissociation isn't a dx just a symptom, repressed memories isn't a diagnoses either just terminology. .....Why have them look back at records that according to you are incorrect or misdiagnoses? UglyDuck, treatment doesn't cause multiple personality disorder. Get to your trauma so that that word isn't thrown around. Insiders will make there present know barrier will come down repression down stop and the only thing you know that you was doing different is talking about it. I wondered the same thing too, but I mostly certain didn't blame the therapist .....Now, what I did blame my therapist for was the closeness therapy abuse (research) that was used in my case outside of session to associate memories or bring forth alters in my system. That part is illegal, was unknown, that is how they do things, when I came into full knowledge of what was happening removed myself from it...Except in times, as of 2016, where they persist get in my business, then I might knowly, willing lash out at the culprits with alters no amnesia, yea cause this has gone way too far!

UglyDuck, I would say ask your therapist to not look at the past they are on a need to know basis you only want to speak about your now.
