If you have ever read Elron Hubbard's book: "Dyanetics" you would see that he talks about traumas occurring in the womb.

It is very easy to traumatize, even, a newborn to four year old toddler. It does not have to be physical abuse that causes a dissociative disorder. Anything that scares the toddler, anything that causes emotional or psychological stress to the toddler, or anything that causes emotional pain to the toddler can cause a dissociative disorder.

Many of Dr. Colin Ross's patients' dissociative disorder exhibits just like mine. It is extremely hard to tell one personality from another. My family was dysfunctional but not total psychopaths. My Dad would have gotten me help if he could tell one personality from another.

Even with Sybel and Eve, the family members did not see anything wrong. But it is the dysfunctional family that causes the mental illness.
