Yes I have read the studies. problem is the studies are not what treatment providers here in the USA go by. anyone can do a study. many college psych classes require the students to do semester long term papers/ thesis papers (studies) and a part of becoming a treatment provider is conducting a thesis or study.
also if you look at the dates of a majority of the studies online right now you will see they were conducted before 2013. here in america everything changed over to new standards, new definitions and treatments for mental disorders.
Im not saying treatment providers can not use parts or all of these studies in their work with a client, treatment providers can use anything be it art, crafts, a book (whether it be fiction or non fiction, movies, pod casts,....they found that may help their clients or even information from a study if that will help their clients.
What I am saying is that here in America the whole mental health system has changed since 2013. what I posted above about BPD and DID/ dissociation and whether they are the same is according to the new standards not on the outdated information you find on the internet.
to find out what your own location goes by for whether BPD and dissociation are the same in your location you will need to contact your own treatment providers. they will explain the similarities and differences in the two disorders based on your locations present diagnostics and definitions.
