Dissociation/Multiple Personalities Support Newsgroup Created
Jonathan Grobe
created: alt.support.dissociation
If this newsgroup is not added to your system in the next couple days write
to your news administrator (write to the address news and/or usenet at your
system) and ask that it be added. [Many systems have the policy of adding
alt* groups only on user request.]
Here are some introductory comments from the proponent (Maelstrom)
<anon...@nyx.cs.du.edu>. [Please address any correspondence to Maelstrom
at that address; not to me (gr...@ins.infonet.net).]
The reason I had for suggesting/creating this newsgroup was originally
going to be to discuss JUST multiplicity (aka MPD aka Multiple
Personalities aka Multiple Personality Disorder aka Dissociative Identity
Disorder) and the problems arising from it, how to deal with it, what to do
about it, etc. etc. While discussing it on alt.config, someone mentioned
calling it alt.dissociation and including other dissociative disorders
as well as MP. I thought this was a wonderful idea, because many people who
aren't "really multiple" experience the same types of problems and handle
their dissociative states in a very similar way.
So, with that in mind, alt.support.dissociation was born.
The newsgroup is, then, for the discussion of various dissociative
"disorders" (although not everyone feels that it is a problem for them,
they are "officially" disorders), problems and issues arising from, for
lack of a better term, being dissociative, and ways to solve those problems
and resolve the issues. Other disorders that are related to/have similar
issues and problems as Dissociative Disorders may be discussed here, or at
least those problems and issues that are similar.
Who belongs here?
Anyone with an interest in being here, of course. A more specific list is:
people with dissociative disorders, including but not limited to multiple
personalities; their SOs (that's "Significant Others" btw), friends,
colleagues and the like; therapists/psychologists with insights into
dealing with problems and issues arising from dissociation, and other
interested parties (although that probably covers just about everyone).
