There's stuff other people have said like it being outdated and stuff, and acting like integration is great, and saying that past lives and spirits are the only answers for non-trauma. Something else I noticed;

Of the forty-five Insiders, one stood discordantly apart and made a strong case for spirit attachment.

They start talking about a guy who sounds like he makes a strong case for it all being just a big fragment thing like the books say it is. The woman's just looking for something and finding it because it's what she wants to see. Pretty much how most people work.

It was nice, in a kind of really patronising way.

Not so much patronizing as... what's the word? *dictionary* Parochial. She's known just one system, one who was less inclined to try and explain things than she was, so she got up this whole model with her own beliefs, which isn't so much wrong, or necessarily wrong, as not applicable to every system. From what I've read, here and elsewhere, some people do have a leader in the system and do well with it, some people really are "attatched" spirits, and some people really are past lives. For that matter, I don't need to resort to hearsay - my best friend is a dragon, another friend has past-life memories and talks about them like he's a median. And while there's not really any order-giving going on in my system, and a lot of arguing and debate, Rob has always been pretty dominant. But these aren't things that describe every system. I think this author would learn a lot if she visited a community like this.

Plus some people get told that they are all the birth person's past lives and that they've now assembled to help cope with trauma! Aiyee!
