Abstract
Although MPD patients typically present to treatment with affective symptoms, trauma-related information is originally encoded in the patients' perceptions and mediated by their cognitions. This paper will describe the dysfunctional assumptive and perceptual categories that form the building blocks of MPD patients' distorted experiences. Perceptual shifting techniques and cognitive reframing will consequently be the recommended interventions prior to therapeutic abreactive work.
