THEORETICAL APPROACHES AND TREATMENT MODELS (listed alphabetically)

Practitioners who are unfamiliar with dissociative disorders or to working with DID may prefer to start with texts that are based on their core models or familiar ways of working. Survivors can also expect to come across and be offered a variety of theoretical approaches, summarised below, although none have the monopoly on healing. It is more important that professional help is trauma-informed and based on a collaborative and companionable approach to finding what is best for each individual’s journey.

Attachment-based Psychotherapy – focuses on relationships and bonds between people. It emphasises the developing child’s need to form a healthy emotional bond with at least one primary caregiver for positive social and emotional development.

Doing Psychotherapy: A Trauma and Attachment-Informed Approach, (2020) by Robin Shapiro

Nurturing Children: From Trauma to Growth Using Attachment Theory, Psychoanalysis and Neurobiology, (2019), by Graham Music (See description in Working With children & Adolescents)

Trauma and the Avoidant Client: Attachment-Based Strategies for Healing, (2010), & Trauma and the Struggle to Open Up, (2019) by Robert Muller

Working with the Developmental Trauma of Childhood Neglect, (2022), by Ruth Cohn

Cognitive & Behavioural – theories and therapies elaborate the interplay between mind, thought, behaviour and action, and demonstrate how they can provoke emotions and contribute towards the maintenance of problems or towards recovery.

Cognitive Behavioural Approaches to the Understanding and Treatment of Dissociation, (2013) edited by Fiona Kennedy, Helen Kennerley & David Pearson

Trauma-Focused ACT: A Practitioner’s Guide to Working with Mind, Body, and Emotion Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, (2021), by Russ Harris

Creative Therapies – use arts-based models and interventions, including music, drama, movement, art or play, with support from a trained professional. Individuals of all ages may find them helpful because they address issues and support expression without the need to talk or focus on the physical self.

A Therapeutic Treasure Box for Working with Children and Adolescents with Developmental Trauma, (2017), by Karen Treisman

Trauma and Expressive Arts Therapy, (2020), by Cathy Malchiodi

Integrative Therapy – affirms and blends different models of therapy with consideration given to what works and why.

Internal Family Systems Therapy – elaborates the relationships between parts of self or psyche and demonstrates how separation or division between parts can cause suffering.

Internal Family Systems Therapy, 2nd Edition, (2019) by Richard Schwarz & Martha Sweezy

Psychoanalytic – theories and therapies that aim to treat mental disorders and distress by investigating the interaction of conscious and unconscious mind.

The Dissociative Mind in Psychoanalysis: Understanding and Working with Trauma, (2016), by Elizabeth Howell & Sheldon Itzkowitz

Trauma, Dissociation and Multiplicity: Working on Identity and Selves, (2010) edited by Valerie Sinason

Psychodynamic – based on the theories and principles of psychoanalysis, but with an increased emphasis on an individual’s relationship with their external world; seeks to understand conscious and unconscious processes that influence emotions, thoughts and behaviour patterns.

Easy Ego State Interventions: Strategies for Working with Parts, (2016) by Robin Shapiro

Somatic (Body-Oriented) Resources – recognise that trauma and its effects are stored within the body, and cause dysregulation and restriction to movement and/or emotion.

EMDR Eye Movement, Desensitisation & Reprocessing – a psychotherapeutic approach that uses visual, auditory or tactile stimuli bilaterally, (from side-to-side of the body), in a rhythmical pattern, to enable reprocessing of memory and its effects. Care needs to be exercised with RAMCOA survivors, since similar techniques have been used in some survivors’ abuse, and EMDR may prove triggering or breach the therapeutic relationship.

'The Penguin' Brings Back Another 'The Batman' Actor

Another The Batman character returns on The Penguin, as Con O'Neill guest stars as Chief Mackenzie Bock. Here's what happened on the episode.

If that fascinatingly voiced actor in the latest episode of The Penguin seems familiar? That’s because you’ve definitely seen him before — likely in The Batman, where Con O’Neill played Chief Mackenzie Bock. No, it’s not Jeffrey Wright as Jim Gordon, but it’s the next best thing. In The Batman, Bock is introduced as the Chief of the Gotham City Police Department, and a thorn in the side of both…

two years ago the UK Labour Party’s shadow NI secretary, peter kyle, said he’d delineate the criteria needed for an Irish Unification referendum to be called, but now that the party’s won the election, their actual appointment for NI secretary, hilary ‘little’ benn, said he won’t be doing that

under the GFA, the NI secretary has the power to call a referendum whenever he [sic] believes a majority would vote Yes, per the secretary’s own judgement. however, now, the writing is on the wall – nationalists have the momentum

by all observable metrics a referendum held now would fail, but that’s only by observable metrics: polling, election results, political priorities, etc. and there’s broad agreement: benn, keir starmer and leo varadkar all agreed that the conditions weren’t met, and micheál martin, mary lou mcdonald and michelle o’neill say the referendum shouldn’t be scheduled right now. but that observation is only relative to the secretary’s power, to the ephemeral judgement

in the interests of stability, democracy and self-determination, the northern ireland office needs to move the criteria away from the personal judgement of ephemera, and towards a tangible criterion. benn and starmer have said they won’t be doing that. but events can change their mind, events can change their position

nationalists won the local elections in 2023 unambiguously, by both votes and seats. they won the 2024 westminster election by seats only, 9 nationalist 1 neutral 8 unionist, with unionists a slim few percent ahead of nationalists, against 17% neutral votes. stormont is more complicated, with sinn féin being the largest party in terms of votes and seats, but with unionists having one more seat overall, 36 nationalist 17 neutral 37 unionist, BUT with them basically being equal in terms of votes

the 2026 stormont election, the first since the arrest of jeffrey donaldson, should probably see the nationalists take unambiguous victory. the FG-FF coalition in the Republic is abreast of the situation and ready to engage. a sinn féin-led dáil had seemed likely until they kinda ran out of steam in the past few months, but nonetheless, the irish election in march next year is still anyone’s game. sinn féin could enter government, who knows, but even if the grand coalition were to be reelected they’d still be pressured to keep an eye on the reunification situation, and be pressured to hold london to account on their promises and obligations

momentum is strong and growing. simply refusing to delineate the criteria provides instability. pressure needs to be applied on the uk labour government, by the parties of stormont and the dáil. 2026 is an obvious opportunity to allow the provision of criteria, but perceived inevitabilities cannot be relied upon. we need to pressurise benn and starmer into a position where they’re forced to delineate the criteria in 2026. we need to do that now

“Amongst all the explanations that have been offered by historians for the decline of feminism in the 1920s, one has generally been overlooked. This is the impact of sexology and of a changing sexual ideology. The change in sexual morality in the 1920s is seen by many historians today as wholly positive and it is not surprising therefore that it has not been seen as part of a reaction against feminism and women’s independence. The American historian William O’Neil reports with glee that feminist campaigns around sexuality were subverted by the new ‘enlightened’ sexual ideology of the 1920s:

By closing their eyes to the sexual elements regulating the life of women, feminists prevented themselves from developing a satisfactory analysis of the female dilemma. And, as we shall see, when the great changes in female sexual behaviour became visible in the 1920s, feminists were unable to react to it in such a way as to command the respect of emancipated young women. It was their sexual views more than anything else that dated the older feminists, after World War I, and made it difficult for them to understand or speak to a generation moved by quite different ambitions.

In very important ways the impact of sexology was to undermine feminism and women’s independence. The propaganda campaign against the spinster undermined the possibility of spinsterhood being seen as a positive choice for women. The promotion of the ideology of motherhood and marriage together with the stigmatising of lesbianism helped to reinforce women’s dependence upon men. The new sexual ideology of the sexologists, that sexual intercourse was vital, that celibacy was dangerous for women, that male sexuality was uncontrollable and that heterosexual sex must take the form of men’s aggression and women’s submission, was antithetical to the feminist theory of sexuality which lay behind earlier feminist campaigns. Women’s anger at men’s sexual abuse was a potent and fundamental motivation behind militant feminism up until the war. It is not surprising then that as the feminist theory was denounced under the growing impact of ‘science’ and sex reform societies, women’s rage was sapped and their challenge blunted. Most 1920s feminists showed no more overt enthusiasm for heterosexual sex than their predecessors, but their confidence in their own judgment was now undermined and it was harder to express their criticisms. Some ‘new feminists’ became fervent missionaries for the wonders of and the necessity for sexual intercourse.”

Currently reading Chaos by Tom O’Neill. It’s perhaps the only piece of literature that has scared me to my bones. It details the sixties, the CIA, and Charles Manson— but most specifically that there is a great evil lingering among those in power, and many are oftentimes silenced to keep it private. There has always been a connection between crime and corruptive government, but this book… this book!— the detailing of Sharon Tate, the found videotape of Roman Polanski literally forcing her to have sex with men, the diligent people in Hollywood who didn’t dare speak a bad thing about his name— it just feels like a prelude to Jeffrey Epstein. These abuses of power and their consequences are not coincidental. They are intentionally created.

What has Northern Ireland’s DUP agreed with the UK over EU trade?

Following two years of political paralysis, Northern Ireland’s devolved assembly is set to return to full working order after a new agreement on trade between the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) and the UK government was ratified by the House of Commons on Thursday.

The Protestant DUP – Northern Ireland’s largest pro-UK party – collapsed the nationalist-unionist power-sharing government in February 2022 in protest at trading arrangements made in the wake of the United Kingdom’s official withdrawal from the European Union.

This week, the leader of the ultra-conservative DUP, Sir Jeffrey Donaldson, welcomed the new agreement, which, he said, would safeguard Northern Ireland’s place in the UK’s internal market.

Ever since the assembly first sat in 1998, when three decades of conflict between Protestant loyalists and Catholic republican paramilitaries in Northern Ireland largely came to an end under the Good Friday Agreement, unionists (those who wished to remain in the UK) have dominated the Belfast-based legislature.

However, when the devolved government is restored, Michelle O’Neill of Sinn Fein will become the first Irish nationalist to assume the role of Northern Ireland’s first minister following her party’s success in the May 2022 assembly elections.

Prior to the UK’s withdrawal from the EU in January 2020 – a process also known as Brexit – trade between the UK and its neighbouring EU member state, the Republic of Ireland, which shares a land border with Northern Ireland, was seamless. But when the UK ceased to be part of the Brussels-based European bloc, a new arrangement had to be reached.

The first post-Brexit trade deal agreed between the UK and the EU in January 2021, the Northern Ireland Protocol, aimed to permit trade to continue between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. It introduced checks on goods arriving into Northern Ireland from Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) at Northern Irish ports rather than at the border with the Irish Republic. This also included checks on goods which were destined to remain in Northern Ireland.

The ardently pro-British DUP, which itself supported the UK’s decision to leave the EU, contended that such an agreement effectively placed a border in the Irish Sea between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK, prompting the party to suspend its involvement with the assembly.

A later UK-EU deal, known as the Windsor Framework, which built on the Northern Ireland Protocol, was agreed in 2023, but this did not satisfy the DUP either.

The DUP’s new deal with the British government includes an end to routine checks on goods arriving from Great Britain that are destined to remain in Northern Ireland. This, together with other amendments, has paved the way for the DUP’s return – and a potential recommencement of the devolved government within days.

The British government has also pledged a 3.3-billion-pound ($4.2bn) financial package for Northern Ireland on the resumption of the assembly.

But while Donaldson claimed that the new agreement removed the Irish Sea border, not everyone in his party has been convinced by the new deal.

Sammy Wilson, a House of Commons DUP parliamentarian, complained that, unlike England, Scotland and Wales, Northern Ireland had still not completely severed itself from the EU.

“Despite the gains that my party leader and deputy party leader have made in these negotiations, the fact remains that in Northern Ireland there are still EU-manned border posts being built which will create a border within our own country,” he claimed.

Without a working government, the job of running Northern Ireland’s day-to-day affairs has fallen to civil servants.

John Garry, a professor of political behaviour at Queen’s University Belfast, told Al Jazeera, “Decision-making has been difficult because civil servants do not have a political mandate to make important economic decisions that affect service provision.”

Indeed, the British Medical Journal (BMJ) has painted a bleak picture of the state of Northern Ireland’s healthcare system.

“Northern Ireland’s health crisis has worsened considerably over the past two years,” reported the BMJ on January 31. “Waiting lists are at an all time high – the worst anywhere in the UK or Ireland – while many GP surgeries are teetering on the brink.”

Twenty-six years after the end of the conflict in Northern Ireland – known as the Troubles – the UK’s smallest constituent nation remains divided between those agitating for unification with the Irish Republic and those wishing to remain part of the UK.

In May 2022, elections for the Northern Irish assembly saw Irish republican party Sinn Fein secure the most seats for the first time, pushing the DUP into second place and reviving talk of a poll on Irish unity.

Under the 1998 Belfast Agreement, which brought the assembly into being, Irish nationalists and pro-British unionists are required to share power, with the roles of first and deputy first minister decided on the basis of electoral mandates.

Mary Lou McDonald, Sinn Fein’s president, said earlier this week that Irish unification — essentially Northern Ireland merging with the Republic of Ireland — was now within “touching distance”.

But despite the elevation of Sinn Fein’s vice president, Michelle O’Neill, to first minister, nationalists in Northern Ireland are still some way off from being able to win over a majority of Northern Ireland’s voting public in favour of a united Ireland.

“The latest research, as published in recent weeks in The Irish Times, indicates that there is not a majority in Northern Ireland in favour of Irish unification,” said Garry. In that research, it was found that half favoured remaining in the United Kingdom, 30 percent favoured unification with Ireland, while the remainder either didn’t know or would not vote.

“So, public opinion is significantly favouring the Union rather than Irish unification,” said Garry.

The Batman

The truest testament to the strengths of The Batman as a movie and piece of entertainment is the fact that I loved it in spite of itself.

From the moment I watched the first trailer for it, I did not want The Batman as it exists. I’ve grown exceedingly weary of comic book movies that present their characters and world as dark, gritty, brooding and overly violent. Even accepting the fact that some manner of those elements will almost always be present in a Batman story, there is an abundance of material for the character that doesn’t revolve entirely around a decaying city protected by an angry hero. Batman movies need not swerve into the territory of the 1966 Adam West TV show (though I wouldn’t be opposed on the surface if they did), but there is ample material to mine that doesn’t involve pitch-black, grim-and-gritty representations of all involved. Give me a movie more in line with the writing of Dennis O’Neil or Grant Morrison. I’d die happy if a movie directly took inspiration (both tonally and aesthetically) from Batman: The Animated Series, a show that remains to my eyes the definitive depiction of the character.

The Batman is pitch-black, grim-and-gritty to a degree that is arresting, not just in its commitment to the approach but in how it actually uses that approach to provide genuine thematic heft. There’s a point to all the layers of grime and decay and darkness. There’s a reason director and co-writer Matt Reeves has Robert Pattinson depict Bruce Wayne and Batman in the most sullen, borderline masochistic way we’ve yet seen in live action. And that purpose is what ultimately endeared me in full to The Batman despite my notable misgivings going in.

While this is technically yet another reboot of Batman, we are spared almost anything resembling exposition in terms of set up. The film simply assumes you’re already familiar with who Bruce Wayne (Robert Pattionson) is and why he dresses up in a bat costume each night. It’s become something of a running joke that we keep seeing imagery of Bruce’s parents’ murder in nearly every single film and Reeves blessedly refrains from delivering yet another depiction of Martha Wayne’s pearls falling to the ground in slow motion. Instead, Reeves focuses his attention on the psychology of a young man who nightly pushes himself to the limit and beyond in service of a righteous crusade that nonetheless appears to have, at best, a minimal effect on the city he’s trying so desperately to save from itself. He’s succeeded in spooking a portion of the criminal element, but he’s become just as frightening a figure to regular law-abiding citizens.

His work becomes all the more complicated with the emergence of The Riddler (Paul Dano) who keeps murdering Gotham’s political and martial leadership all in the name of exposing their deep-seated corruption. Riddler sees himself not as a foe to Batman, but a partner. Batman, obviously, does not share the sentiment. He and Lt. Jim Gordon (Jeffrey Wright) begin their race to figure out who Riddler is and, more importantly, who he plans to take out next. Tangled up along the way are underground nightclub owner Oswald “The Penguin” Cobblepot (Colin Farrell) and Selina “Catwoman” Kyle (Zoe Kravitz).

What unravels is a bit of a first for a live-action Batman movie: It’s a straight-up detective story. Though the character has long been called “The World’s Greatest Detective” in the comics, the movies have either largely ignored this aspect or downplayed it to the point where it becomes a non-factor. The Batman, however, leans hard into the character’s detective side to the point where action scenes are a rarity and most of our time is spent in the shadows as our heroes hunt for clues, surveil targets or generally spend time doing things other than punching. A rarity for a comic book movie these days, to be sure.

It’s a welcome change, though. While the film can feel grand and operatic in parts (thanks in large part to Michael Giacchino’s incredible score), this is a much more intimate approach, one that feels welcome after the bombast of Batman v. Superman or (either version of) Justice League. The shift in focus allows Reeves to be much more pointed in making The Batman about something. Matt Reeves isn’t just concerned about the ways leadership corrupts public servants, he wants to showcase how lives have been affected. One of my biggest complaints with the film is its unnecessary three-hour length. But Reeves at least puts that length to use by taking the time to immerse us in Gotham, to truly see and feel how the city has been almost frozen in time thanks to decades of failure and corruption.

That said, a Batman movie is only as good as its Batman and I am delighted to report that Robert Pattinson is more than up to the task. It’s a shame that Pattinson still is mostly remembered for his role as Edward in the Twilight films. He’s one of the best young actors working and he brings an intensity and emotional depth that not even Christian Bale’s work in the role managed to reach. Pattinson delivers a Bruce and Batman that’s not just unwilling to engage with “normal” behavior, he seems all but incapable of it, so obsessed is he with his caped crusade. And yet Pattinson manages to make this obsession feel noble, albeit highly misguided. I felt compelled all while rooting for Bruce to find a better way. As for when he’s in the costume, Pattinson may lack the bulk of either Bale or Ben Affleck, but he feels like even more of a feral presence than either. He’s clearly physically capable, but there’s a greater sense that this version of Batman is just slightly more unhinged than previous occupants of the cowl.

Kravitz is the purrrfect (sorry, not sorry) mix of confident, capable, coy and carefree while remaining perfectly unpredictable, delivering what, for my money, is the best live-action Catwoman we’ve seen. Her chemistry with Pattinson crackles when it should in all the best ways. Colin Farrell, meanwhile, is visibly having a ball acting underneath a couple layers of facial prosthetics. He lets the makeup do a lot of the work, but his old-timey gangster attitude and accent elevate it beyond mere over-acting and into something truly memorable and fun.

Paul Dano is great, but he’s better once his character is unmasked and he gets a wonderful Hannibal Lecter-esque confrontation with Batman. This is about as far from Frank Gorshin (or Jim Carrey doing a manic impression of Frank Gorshin) as you can get.

The real MVP of the cast outside of Pattinson, though, is Wright as Gordon. Wright is as reliable as actors come, but here he provides a depth to Gordon that we’ve simply never gotten in live action before. You get a real sense of the character’s history as a cop and his complicated but trusting relationship with Batman via body language, vocal affectations and some genuinely funny lines. I can’t wait to see how Wright evolves him in future films.

If there’s a major complaint I have in addition to the length (and it really is frustrating, these movies do not at all need to be three hours long), it’s that it suffers from a case of multiple ending disorder. Things come to a fairly logical and satisfying conclusion, only for yet another climax and denouement to unfurl. It helps that this segment is highly entertaining with the biggest action sequence of the film. It also helps that we see a Batman villain sparking behavior that feels genuinely scary due in part to how highly relevant it is today’s online culture among certain groups. But the fact remains that this movie could easily have a good 20 minutes lopped off and it’d be all the better for it.

But even with such a not insignificant complaint, The Batman is still an excellent film. I was always aware of the length, but never bored at any given moment. It may be grounded in “reality” but that reality is never at odds with the idea of costumed heroes and villains with a gimmick, a feeling that for me was present throughout Christopher Nolan’s films.

Perhaps what I love most about The Batman, though, is the place it brings the character to at the end. The film is drenched in grim pessimism with a hero doubting his capability at being a hero. But by the end, the realization he has provides a spark of hope feels like a waypoint for future films. This is now a Batman with a revitalized and refocused vision for what kind of hero and icon his city needs, and that is exciting and hopeful and precisely these movies need.
