No proof has ever been produced that it's a thing, at least not how it's popularly understood, with different personalities coexisting in the same person with no knowledge on each other.

I am not about to "fight" ppl who've suffered trauma and who believe this is real for them, nor would I want to present evidence to the contrary as I don't want to further aggravate the pain these ppl are undoubtedly going through.

I did because the evidence is just not there for me. I hope we can agree to disagree on this.

The site you link acknowledges most severe trauma is NOT repressed. It leaves the door open that it may occur in (fewer) cases. The 1980s insistence in some quarters that traumatic memories are routinely suppressed is not backed by any cognitive science. http://blogs.brown.edu/recoveredmemory/about/false/ …

By insisting to women that they MUST have been abused (when they had no memory of it), which some unethical therapists did (based on symptoms), opened the door to the backlash which has HURT survivors.

The word "all" didn't enter into it. There is plenty of evidence that SOME people's belief they had MPD/DID was influenced by therapists. The patients said so themselves. Are they not to be believed? This was not the only case. http://www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magazine/June-1998/Dangerous-Therapy-The-Story-of-Patricia-Burgus-and-Multiple-Personality-Disorder/ …

Am open to evidence on that. Suspect it is rare (used to be before the 80s-90s craze), and its etiology complex, with both iatrogenic and trauma-based factors playing it.

That site assiduously avoids linking to any of the (many) peer-reviewed papers that do show an iatrogenic relationship. Not going to throw the baby out with the bathwater, but will take a look.
