Ross CA. Errors of logic and scholarship concerning dissociative
identity disorder. J Child Sex Abus. 2009;18:221-231. The author
reviewed a two-part critique of dissociative identity disorder
published in the Canadian Journal of Psychiatry. The two papers
contain errors of logic and scholarship. Contrary to the conclusions
in the critique, dissociative identity disorder has established
diagnostic reliability and concurrent validity, the trauma histories
of affected individuals can be corroborated, and the existing
prospective treatment outcome literature demonstrates improvement in
individuals receiving psychotherapy for the disorder. The available
evidence supports the inclusion of dissociative identity disorder in
future editions of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
Disorders. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19306208
