This paper represents additional background to a recently published commentary in Frontiers in the Psychotherapy of Trauma and Dissociation concerning alleged satanic ritual abuse, maladaptive daydreaming, false memories and organized abuse. Such issues are referenced here to the first individual the author knowingly diagnosed as having Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). The complexities of even this first such case made it desirable to assemble a conceptual framework for accurate and inaccurate memories of reported trauma. This lead naturally to an inventory of personal self-directed advice, assembled in order to try and enjoy a reasonably safe and harmonious career working in the trauma and dissociation field.
