> Jon Allen (of Menninger) in his book "Coping With Trauma", is of the opinion that it is more important to deal with the symptoms and the patients version of reality than to go back looking for abuse that might have happened or disproving abuse that might not have.
yeah.
and my opinion... is that that is what is wrong with the 'post-traumatic model' of DID. That it makes 'trauma of an objectively sickening severity' a CAUSAL factor in the aetiology of the disorder.
And the danger with that...
Is that clients and therapists both may come to the conclusion that it is the ONLY explanation for their present symptoms...

There is also Ian Hacking's "Multiple Personality and the Sciences of Memory"
