ToSD

The Theory of Structural Dissociation (ToSD) is a theory that leads to the conclusion that ALL trauma disorders, e.g. PTSD/DID/OSDD/BPD/etc. have parts, that can always be categorized into Emotional Parts (EP) and Apparently Normal Parts (ANP.) It states that fusion integration is the safest outcome for all Systems.

It is based on a collection of other theories, clinical observations and experiences, old and revamped terminology that has been translated from French, to Dutch, to English and ideas by the (as far as we know) singlet authors, about trauma and dissociation, at any age.

As presented in the book ‘The Haunted Self/Het Belaagde Zelf’ by Onno van her Hart, Ellert Nijenhuis, Kathy Steele and the accompanying workbooks by Suzette Boon, Onno van her Hart, Kathy Steele.
