Patients with somatization disorder also have difficulties in intimate relationships, including sexual, marital, and parenting problems. Disturbances in identity formation are also characteristic of patients with borderline and multiple personality disorders they have not been systematically studied in somatization disorder.
Fragmentation of the self into dissociated alters is the central feature of multiple personality disorder. Inner images of the self are split into extremes of good and bad. The evidence for this link ranges from definitive to suggestive. In the case of multiple personality disorder the etiological role of severe childhood trauma is at this point firmly established.
In a study by the psychiatrist Frank Putnam of patients with the disorder, 97 had histories of major childhood trauma, most commonly sexual abuse, physical abuse, or both. Extreme sadism and murderous violence were the rule rather than the exception in these dreadful histories. Almost half the patients had actually witnessed the violent death of someone close to them.
Page When these arguments were first proposed several years ago, I found them almost ludicrously implausible, and thought that their frank appeal to prejudice would be transparent at once. If any principle had been established, surely it was that victims are competent to testify to their own experience. Yet once again, here were eminent authorities proclaiming that victims are too weak and foolish to know their own minds.
Did we really need to go through it again? Apparently the answer was yes. The notion of a contagion of false complaints struck a responsive chord in the public media and some quarters of academia.
The press seemed to be tired of hearing about victims and eager to take the side of those who insisted that they had been wrongly accused. Challenges to the credibility of victims and therapists also enjoyed some success in the courtroom.
In a number of disturbing cases, adult women were denied the opportunity to give their testimony because of the concern that their minds might have been contaminated by psychotherapy. In one closely watched case, a father accused of incest by his daughter successfully sued for damages, in spite of the fact that the jury was unable to decide whether the accusations were true or false. The accusing daughter was not held responsible for harming her father.
The young woman, testifying in defense of her therapists, protested that she alone was responsible for her memories. Once again, a victim became invisible. This trial put psychotherapists on notice that listening to survivors can carry certain risks and dangers. Underlying the attack on psychotherapy I believe, is a recognition of the potential power of any relationship of witnessing.
The consulting room is a privileged space dedicated to memory. Within that space, survivors gain the freedom to know and tell their stories. Even the most private and confidential disclosure of past abuses increases the likelihood of eventual public disclosure. And public disclosure is something that perpetrators are determined to prevent. As in the case of more overtly political crimes, perpetrators will fight tenaciously to ensure that their abuses remain unseen, unacknowledged, and consigned to oblivion.
The dialectic of trauma is playing itself out once again. It is worth remembering that this is not the first time in history that those who have listened closely to trauma survivors have been subject to challenge. Nor will it be the last. In the past few years, many clinicians have had to learn to deal with the same tactics of harassment and intimidation that grassroots advocates for women, children and other oppressed groups have long endured.
We, the bystanders, have had to look within ourselves to find some small portion of the courage that victims of violence must muster every day. Some attacks have been downright silly; many have been quite ugly. Though frightening, these attacks are an implicit tribute to the power of the healing relationship. Zipcar Strategy. UTI imaging algorithms revisited in the light of modern approaches. There are survivors of school shootings, Wal-Mart shootings, and music festival shootings.

Now what? But many still feel that step programs aren't for them: that the spiritual emphasis is too narrow, the modality too old-school, the setting too triggering, or the space too exclusive. Some struggle with an addict label that can eclipse the histories, traumas, and experiences that feed into addiction, or dismisses the effects of adverse experiences like trauma in the first place.
Advances in addiction medicine, trauma, neuropsychiatry, social theory, and overall strides in inclusivity need to be integrated into modern-day step programs to reflect the latest research and what it means to live with an addiction today.
