Abstract:
Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), formerly Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD), remains among the most challenging of mental disorders. It is difficult to understand, to diagnose, to treat, to discuss objectively in the face of the many controversies that swirl around it. It remains a condition that requires intensive individual psychotherapy for its satisfactory resolution.
The controversies that have surrounded DID have often obscured the progress that has been made. DID is emerging as a not uncommon consequence of overwhelming childhood events.
The major challenges facing the treatment of DID are disentangling this condition and its therapy from the controversies that swirl about them, encouraging the more widespread use of specific diagnostic approaches, educating managed care organizations to accept standards of care for DID that are based upon those treatment approaches that are effective, making specific treatments for DID more available, and continuing to develop more successful approaches for the more difficult-to-treat DID subgroups of DID patients.

Abstract:
Ann Norris first went to see Laguna Beach psychologist Doug Sawin in 1988. She had recently graduated from college with a degree in music and suffered from insomnia and drank alcohol to sleep. But it was her relationship with her mother, Judy, that troubled her most. After Ann's triumphant college graduation vocal recital, Judy hadn't even congratulated her. Two days later, Judy had called and angrily attacked Ann over the phone until Ann cried.
It was the kind of issue that a good family or individual therapist might have addressed by building on Ann's obvious strengths, teaching her to contain and manage her feelings, and coaching her to develop a better relationship with her mother. But Sawin instead focussed intensely on the past. Ann soon had memories of her father sexually abusing her, and later of elaborate cultic abuse, which her three siblings didn't come close to corroborating. She was hospitalized after attempting suicide, and Sawin bluntly told her father, Al, over the phone, of Ann's charges Al collapsed in tears.
Over the years, Ann drew closer to Sawin while her relations with her family and her own mental state grew more troubled. She was diagnosed with Multiple Personality Disorder and, with Sawin's support, sued her parents and grandparents for $20 million. She spent six years in therapy with Sawin She now describes psychiatric hospitals where she still stays periodically because she cuts and burns herself as her "institutional mothers." She has not spoken to her true mother in six years. And she no longer sings.
It doesn't take a PhD in psychology or a seat on a state licensing board to see that Ann is worse off than when she entered therapy. Millions of nontherapists undoubtedly made just such an assessment when Ann, her therapist and her family told their stories before millions of prime-time viewers on "Divided Memories," a four-hour PBS Frontline documentary screened in early May.
In her wide-ranging investigation of therapy, sexual abuse and memory, producer Ofra Bikel used as her primary subject families divided by recovered memories of abuse. She also managed to persuade nearly half a dozen therapists to do therapy while her camera was running. It was a remarkable event, in which all of America was invited behind the one-way mirror to see therapy in action in the midst of its most divisive controversy and to judge it for themselves.

Language: English
Format: Newsletter
Abstract:
Media descriptions, popular magazine articles, novels and television programs, dissociaparticularly
talk shows, present a variety of
human conditions to the public. These accounts are often portrayed to represent the general condition when, in fact, they represent highly stylized, idiosyncratic variations of a general class. Over the last ten
years, many accounts of dissociative somedisorders,
most specifically multiple personality disorder (MPD), have been presented in the media in exactly that sensationalizing fashion. The public, as well as many mental health practioners, have been inundated with largely believable, but exceptionally rare, accounts of how patients with these disorders function, (e.g., what they are like in their day to day living and how they are likely to present themselves in treatment). These conditioned descriptions lead inadvertently to unrealistic expectations about how to recognizesignsand symptoms that would lead to an accurate diagnosis of dissociative disorders.

Language: English
Format: Newsletter
Abstract: M
ultiple Personality Disorder (MPD)
represents the most severe form of
the Dissociative Disorders. The predominant
symptoms are disturbances
in the normally integrative functions
of identity and memory (American
Psychiatric Association, 1987). There
has been an explosion of interest in
the disorder since about 1984
Putnam, 1989; Ross, 1989), with many
articles focusing upon phenomena,
diagnosis, and treatment. The treatment
articles have focused primarily
upon thechallengingissues that have
to be dealt with prior to the eventual
unification ofthe mind, as represented
by the fusions of the various alter
personalities. Relatively little has
been written about the post-unification
phase of treatment, except that
treatment does not end with unification
(Kluft, 1988).

13. Vogelmann-Sine, S. L. (1993, October). The role of EMDR in crisis intervention. Presentation at the International Society for the Study of Dissociation Fall Conference, Chicago, IL. Rush University.
Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
EMDR is a procedure capable of assisting with MPD patients by defusing acute distress associated with current crises. In order to benefit from EMDR without risking retraumatization, the diagnosis of MPD needs to be established and consent obtained from the system as a whole. The systems needs to agree that a decrease in distress is a desirable treatment outcome.
In treating MPD, crises may arise before the system has been fully mapped. EMDR amy be cautiously used in this situation by 1) asking the entire system to listen, 2) explaining the procedure, 3) asking for any parts, know to the therapist or unknown, who disagress to let their concerns be known or they will have to be construed to have consented. The relief provided by the successful defusing of the crisis tends to increase confidence in the therapist and encourage others to alters to reveal themselves.
Several case examples will be presented illustrating the application of EMDR to crisis intervention with MPD patients. Preliminary data from case examples indicate that (1) clients report lasting relief from distress associated with current crisis; (2) clients report relief even though distress levels did not reach zero; (3) EMDR for crisis intervention is a cost-effective procedure for reducing the frequency of hospitalizations by managing crises in an outpatient basis.

14. Calof, D. (1995, June). The self of the therapist: An experiential clinic for clinicians working with abuse recovery issues. Presentation at the EMDR Network Conference, Santa Monica, CA.
Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Working with survivors of trauma and abuse can challenge or shatter therapists' basic beliefs about safety, goodness, and meaning,
leaving one anxious, vulnerable, uncertain and prone to countertransference act-out. Through discussion and structured experiences
that allow for individual pacing, participants in this experiential clinic will have an opportunity to identify, transform, and work
through issues of the self of the therapist including countertransferences, parallel process, secondary traumatization, and the intense
and sometime immobilizing existential crises that may result from this work. The leader will endeavor to create an enjoyable playful
climate of mutual respect, trust, confidentiality and containment throughout the day.
Educational objectives:
A. Participants will engage in group and individual exercises designed to break with injunctions, scripts and
internalizations left over from the family of origin that have prohibited personal authority and experimentation.
B. Through lecture/discussion and exercises, participants will explore countertransference issues, secondary PTSD, and
common therapeutic impasses and the existential crises they evoke in the self of the therapist.
C. Participants will engage in group and individual exercises designed to assist in the resolution of on-going
countertransference issues growing out of their current clinical practice.

Abstract:
Dissociation is the result of overwhelming trauma. The major feature of patients with Dissociative Disorders is a disturbance or alteration in the normally integrative functions of identity, memory, or consciousness (American Psychiatric Association, 1987). “The task of psychotherapy is to re-associate disrupted memory patterns, to restore a continuity of consciousness, and to assimilate the patient’s identity into a unified whole” (Steele, 1988, p. 151).

Abstract:
This article briefly reviews the tactical integrationist's perspective in the work with multiple personality disorder patients. Its foundation is a cognitively based treatment paradigm geared toward controlled abreactions with cognitive restructuring throughout therapy. It is a suppression-dilution-of-affect model that focuses on the achievement of control and mastery for patient and therapist alike.

Abstract:
Se aborda el caso de una paciente que sufre un TID (como consecuencia de una infancia traumática). Se presentan las principales características del caso y de los cambios que se fueron produciendo en las sesiones del tratamiento (EMDR e ICV básicamente). Se comparan los resultados con las referencias más relevantes y recientes de los trastornos disociativos y por estrés postraumático. Se discute acerca de que el TID es un diagnóstico mucho más frecuente de lo que se pensaba, instrumentos de valoración, y terapias específicas que están ofreciendo algunos resultados. Se extraen algunas conclusiones acerca de las particularidades del abordaje de este tipo de casos.
The paper addresses the clinical case of a patient suffering from DID (following a traumatic childhood). It also examines the main features of the case and the changes produced in the patient during the course of the sessions of the treatment (basically, EMDR and ICV). We correlate our results with the most recent and relevant references on dissociative and posttraumatic stress disorders. We discuss about the possibility that DID is a much more frequent diagnosis than it was believed to be; instruments of evaluation, and that new specific therapies are offering some results. Some conclusions are extracted about the peculiarities of the handling of this type of cases.

18. Lazrove, S. (1993, October). The use of EMDR in abreaction. Presentation at the International Society for the Study of Dissociation Fall Conference, Chicago, IL.
Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
The role and management of abreaction, defined here as the reexperiencing of trauma in a therapeutic setting, is of particluar importance to clinicians treating patients with multiple personality disorder(MPD). Initial enthusiasm for the abreactive work waned after investigators recognized that patients can be retraumatized by intense abreaction and can decompenate clincially (Kluft). Still, mastery over past events is an essential element of recovery, so there is usually a need to titrate abreaction which results in a prolonged course of treatment. It will be suggested tha the use of EMDR can make abreactive work less painful and therefore has the potential to shorten treastment. This case supports the supposition that detoxifying and resolving traumatic memories is valuable in patients with MPD. Accordingly, it is suggested that the use of EMDR to manage abreaction in patients with MPD accelerates the treatment process, to the benefit of patient and clinician alike.
