Abstract
The treatment of dissociative disorder (DD) patients with multiple personality disorder (MPD) and allied forms of dissociative disorder not otherwise specified (DDNOS) has advanced rapidly over the last two decades. It is clear that many patients with these conditions can be treated successfully, and several schematizations of the treatment process have been published. However, all studies to date have been open; controlled studies remain to be done. This presentation will review what is known about the treatment of these conditions, however flawed the state of our knowledge, as judged by the criterion of being associated with good clinical results. A number of relevant issues will be discussed.
