You are working with a patient with dissociative identity disorder. You are having trouble establishing whether a root trauma that the patient experienced that may have led to the dissociation, because every time you ask about it, the patient’s original personality is repressed by other identities. You hypothesize that the patient gets stressed, other identities are activated. You therefore conclude that the person must have experienced severe trauma before developing dissociation. What is the major problem with this theory?
a. It is not intuitive
b. It is not falsifiable
c. It is not parsimonious
d. It is not logically consistent
