Hypnotherapy of Dissociative Identity Disorder
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
The relationship between childhood trauma, dissociation and hypnosis has been increasingly studied and understood recently. The dissociative identity disorder is characterized by difficulties in the integration of memory and/or identity.
Typically
this
is manifested by amnesia and either the development of alternate identities or an estrangement from one's own identity.
Spontaneous and self-generated dissociative states and phenomena sharing much in common with those that can be induced with hypnosis are thought to play a major role in the development. Symptomatology, and perpetuation.
Hypnotherapy can play an invaluable role in the treatment of the dissociative identity disorder. The vast majority of patients with such disorder are highly hypnotizable to allow the application of a wide variety of hypnotherapeutic techniques.
Hypnosis
offers a useful means of accessing dissociated material and structures, and integrating them into the mainstream of the patient's mental life. The application of hypnotic interventions in the treatment of the dissociative identity disorder was
discussed
explored, and illustrated.
