"The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me,
Because the
Lord has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me
to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the
opening of the prison to those who are bound; To proclaim the
acceptable year of the Lord, And the day of vengeance of our God; To
comfort all who mourn, To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them
beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise
for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of
righteousness, The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.
And they shall rebuild the old ruins, They shall raise up the former
desolations, And they shall repair the ruined cities, the desolations
of many generations."
Isaiah 61:1-4
Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) is a severe
dissociative disorder that involves a disturbance in both the memory
and identity of an individual. The individual uses defense mechanisms
involving splitting, idealization, devaluation, denial and/or taking on
the personality of another in order to cope with trauma experienced in
childhood.
- 9
times more women than men receive therapy for DID
- 97%
of the individuals with Dissociative Identity Disorder have been
physically and/or sexually abused
- an
individual with Dissociative Identity Disorder develops an average of 8
- 13 personalities
- There
are three factors which determine if a person has Dissociative Identity
Disorder:
- Two
or more personalities exist within the individual - each is dominant at
certain times.
- The
dominant personality determines the individual's behaviour.
- Each
individual personality is complex and integrated with its own unique
behaviour patterns and social relationships.
