According to a presentation given by Van Der Hart "Structural Dissociation of the Personality: The Key to Understanding Chronic Traumatization and Its Treatment", this theory relates to the response to trauma, described further in the paper "Trauma-related dissociation: conceptual clarity lost and found" (Hart et al. 2004). From the abstract:

It postulates a common psychobiological pathway for all trauma-related disorders. Trauma-related dissociation is maintained by integrative deficits and phobic avoidance. This conceptualization advances diagnosis, classification, treatment and research of trauma-related disorders.
