My shrink also has a 'blind spot' with DID, but my therapist, who has written books on the subject has been really helpful in educating him. If he's as intelligent as you say then he should be open to your diagnosis. If he's not, how is he helping you? Do you have a therapist who does? I guess I would find it difficult to deal with a 'nonbeliever' at the same time I was putting the (extreme) effort it takes to get well. Also, just the other post about alters having other disorders- I find that's really true, and I think bipolar and borderline disorders seem to rank high. Particularly borderline when you consider the childhhood factors that shape this diagnosis. take care, judy
