Incorporating hypnosis into the psychotherapy of patients with multiple personality disorder
1Karl Menninger School of Psychiatry and Mental Health Sciences, Topeka, KS.
Abstract:
Psychotherapeutic treatment of persons with multiple personality disorder frequently includes judicious use of hypnosis. The author outlines widely accepted essential features of this form of treatment: developing self-soothing techniques, "mapping" the system of alternate personalities, facilitating communication between alters and with the therapist, managing abreaction, and--when possible and appropriate--aiding the process of fusion. The author shows how dissociative processes that originally were used for sheer psychic survival can be drawn on to improve psychological health.
