Ah yes, Spanos. What I've never understood is this.
He believes that the response of pro-DID/MPD clinicians may encourage people to behave in a way that conforms with this model. I have no problem with this concept, in a way. I certainly think there can and have been "cases" that were iatrogenic in nature. That would be hard to deny.
On the other hand, he never considers that his proposed treatment may promote iatrogenic "wellness". That if a clinician ignores or disapproves of a legitimate report of symptoms or experiences, the patient may well quit reporting them, not because they ceased to exist, but to please the clinician.
I don't get that.
