ABSTRACT
This paper presents the results of an action research study into the acute care experience of Dissociative Identity Disorder. The study, which was grounded in principles of critical social science, utilized focus group interviews and narrative construction. Nurses and patients are under-represented in all clinical evaluation and their voices need to be heard if services are to be truly collaborative. Findings of the study extend intrapsychic theories of trauma to emphasize the interpersonal relationship between nurse and person who can work together to facilitate recovery from trauma, make connections both intra and interpersonally and build resilience.

Mitotic cells from the H-4-IIE-C3 rat hepatoma tissue culture line showed a range of 45 to 53 chromosomes per cell with 75% of the cells displaying a chromosome mumber between 49 and 52. Analysis of Wright's-Giemsa banded karyotypes of 22 cells revealed considerable cell to cell variation. Twenty-one structurally abnormal chromosomes were identified in these cells; the origin of nine of the 21 chromosomes were identified in these cells; the origin of nine of the 21 chromosomes could be determined. Of the structurally abnormal chromosomes detected, only one (M-1) occurred with a sufficiently high frequency to be of general use as a marker for these cells. This marker appears to be a Robertsonian translocation involving chromosome number 2 and chromosome number 10.
