[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here: I think DH is abusive/mean at times but our couples counselor in an individual session told me he had different parts of him and two distinct personalities - she said multiple personalities - that he is self absorbed and with narcissistic tendancies - she said there is hope to integrate the personalities etc[/quote]

OP, there are very few mental health professionals who are professionally able to diagnose dissociative identity disorder. If your couples counselor called it "multiple personality disorder" I am almost willing to guarantee that she is NOT one of them. If she had experience with DID, she would be calling it that and would be treating it more seriously. For example, if I was providing counseling to a couple, one of whom was diagnosed with DID (or if I suspected a DID diagnosis), I would require that person to see another clinician individually to treat his or her illness in addition to the couples counseling. If that person was not willing to do that, I would not be willing to continue the couples counseling, because it would be utterly pointless.[/quote]
