Hmm. I hope I aren't being unfair to them...
I try to be charitable.
The trouble is that CBT therapists (in general) get more from behaviourism than from psychodynamic theory. And what does that mean for the CBT therapist??? That they hope their DID client just goes away because their theory isn't equiped to deal with it.
I mean they can ignore it for a while... Not reinforce it etc. But aside from that there is really nothing to be done.
So what needs to be done is to provide an alternative theory that is phrased in terminology they understand. Thats why I probably sound quite behaviourist in the rest of the paper...
Make sense???
PS I do prefer to talk about this over on writing because then we retain copyright to our posts...
