yes I know the research and information is out there that isnt what I was getting at...

what I stated was that in my location treatment providers do not use the structural dissociation model for DID, due to the fact that we no longer have a poly fragmented system in place for treating DID.

by that I meant treatment providers no longer use the multi axial \ poly fragmented system of diagnosis. this was one where alters were ranked by how important they were in the system, whether they were first, second or third forth last..., whether they were fully formed or just an unimportant fragment that didnt matter. and ranked according to whether they sprung into being from the host (body born) or whether they sprung \ branched off from another alter. now we have a diagnosis system in place where it does not matter whether an alter is just a fragment or first or second or where they sprung into being from alter or host. now treatment providers here in the USA treat all alters as essential and important regardless.

I also stated in my locations treatment providers do not have to learn the structural dissociation model in doing EMDR.

then I posted what EMDR is in the USA and what treatment providers in the USA learn in their training to do EMDR.

again I wasnt saying the research isnt being done and isnt out there on the structural dissociation model. Just that its not being used in direct relationship to DID. it is being used for things like PTSD, borderline personality disorder and others here in my location but not directly with treating DID in my location.
