Bab 190: Happy Together 3

''The goals of treatment for DID are to relieve symptoms, ensure the safety of the individual and those around him or her, and 'reconnect' the different personalities into one integrated, well-functioning identity''

''Treatment also aims to help the person safely express and process painful memories, develop new coping skills and life skills, restore optimal functioning, and improve relationships. The best treatment approach depends on the individual, the nature of any identifiable triggers, and the severity of the symptoms.

Psychotherapy: Sometimes called "talk therapy," psychotherapy is the main treatment for dissociative disorders. This is a broad term that includes several forms of therapy.

Cognitive-behavioral therapy: This form of psychotherapy focuses on changing dysfunctional thinking patterns, feelings, and behaviors.
