Hypnosis for multiple personality disorder: a framework for beginning.

Abstract Increasing clinical attention, new research data, media and professional exposure to multiple personality disorder (MPD) make it likely that an increasing number of clinicians will make positive diagnoses. Controversy about the diagnosis persists, and the relationship of hypnosis to the formation of the disorder and to its treatment continues to be a major issue. All of this is likely to confound the otherwise experienced clinician who is new to the treatment of MPD. This paper explores the issues in the literature as they relate to beginning treatment and the uses of hypnosis. It develops a framework for understanding the relationship between hypnotic interventions and treatment as it is likely to occur for someone unfamiliar with the course of treatment in MPD. Special attention is paid to the range of variation in individuals with MPD.
