I think... that... is the difference... you see...

your open consent... to being a case study.... you being asked.. do you want this????

when someone gives you a "choice".... then you do not feel "used"...

if I had a choice... what would I have said??? I do not know..

with the therapist at the o/p center... he said.. if you want treatment with me.. then.. yes.. I will use your case...no if's.. no but's.. no "give" no "take"...

and.. again... yes I could have left.. but it is very difficult even now to find DID treatment..

so if someone asked me.. "would you do a case study for me?"..

my guess is my response would be different... because I would feel "valued"... like a "person.. with choices"
