I think our description of this event in 2020 was lacking; but that doesn't mean that the name change was a unbiased scientific process. The scientific field around DID has been and continues to be deeply politicized, and it's important that we attend to history and it's legacy.

There's been controversy about the validity of claim from the sorority, boosted by us back in 2020, about the reasoning behind the name change from MPD to DID in the DSM-IV. We dug into it more recently, and found an article by Frank Putnam on his time in the DSM-IV work group:
Replying to @TheRingsSystem
He thought MPD was a made up, fabricated diagnosis, a fad, invented by poorly trained therapists, and sought to rid it of the DSM. But he couldn’t. So he changed it to DID.

Maybe this is an odd person to share something like this for, but she's someone I consider a friend, especially as a fellow queer person
