in my location some of these guidelines have changed for example here where I am treatment providers do not assess whether a person has DID or other dissociative disorders by being the one to ask the client if they have depersonalization, derealization and so on.

here where I am the treatment provider (including my own here) must wait until the client says they are feeling those symptoms in their own words. part of the new standards since may 2013 to prevent treatment providers from purposely or accidentally leading someone to saying they have a problem that they may not have.

there also have been major changes with the DSM version used in the article vs what is used now.... for example here in america we no longer have a diagnosis label called DDNOS. not saying the problems dont exist just that the name no longer exists. we now have 3 or more new disorders that now cover the same problems 2 are dissociative disorders and the rest fall into other categories. to actually read them you can read the newer version of the DSM called DSM 5.

there are other areas in this article my treatment provider and I have gone through together to find what parts of the article fits me and what doesnt. what we finally ended up doing is not using that at all because it was so misleading to my own situation.

not saying what you quoted wont help others just that it didnt help me or my treatment providers because things have drastically changed in how mental disorders in america are now treated including dissociative disorders.
