Ah yeah, I started writing an example of how making a space can make a difference in meaning with that as a somewhat humorous example, but I couldn't really come up with a good way to explain it in English last night so I removed that part, but seems like I forgot to remove the reference.
meervoudigepersoonlijkheidsstoornisbehandelaaropleiding is a bit of a contrived example, it's just an example of how you can "invent" compound words on the spot and how you can have quite a lot of words in a compound word.
> Also, if you have a reason why you didn't put an "s" between behandelaar and opleiding I'd be interested! It feels to me like there should be one but I don't know the rule.
No reason; there probably should be an "s" (I think?) The previous comment went through quite a few revision before the final version that I posted; I just missed it.
