I haven't seen agreement on the subject even from patients. I suppose that there is a huge variability in the condition, and that the difference in treatment comes from the researchers trying to pidgeon-hole the entire group of patients.
My therapist believes that each alter is keeping something crucial to the health of the whole. It needs to be explored. I haven't read a whole lot though, and I'm still learning. I guess that as things progress, I might actually develop my own viewpoint rather than adopting my therapist's.
