disorder Abstract:
Background.
Multiple personality disorder is characterised by splited individual
ego-states and splited professional community arguing whether this disorder
actually exists or not. Methods.
In this case report study a supportive psychodynamic psychotherapy of a
patient with multiple personality disorder is presented, that lasted for 4,5
years and resulted in ego-reintegration. Conclusions.
The spliting between different ego-states is powered by unneutralised
aggression with the possibility of hetero- and autoaggressive
behaviour. Therefore the patient in the analytically oriented
psychotherapeutic process is at high risk and a safe therapeutic (e.g.
in-patient) setting has to be provided. |
