Good evening class, I took such an interest in Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) last week, I wanted to continue this week and work to find an adequate evidence-based treatment options. The disorder is complex, and statistically only 1.5% of the global population is properly diagnosed, and it often develops alongside childhood trauma. The theory behind DID suggests that four things must be present in order for the disorder to present itself, "which include an ability to dissociate, overwhelming traumatic experiences that distort reality, creation of alters with specific names and identities, and lack of external stability, which leads to the child's self- soothing to tolerate these stressors. (Mitra P, Jain A. Dissociative Identity Disorder. [Updated 2023 May 16]) Clinical Hypnosis has been seen to be a helpful evidence-based treatment option. "According to the literature, DID patients are more hypnotizable than other clinical populations. [16] There have been some studies as recent as 2009 that have shown efficacy in the use of hypnosis to treat DID. [17] Many DID patients are considered autohypnotic. "(Mitra P, Jain A. Dissociative Identity Disorder. [Updated 2023 May 16]] It is unfortunate that" No formal, evidence-based treatment guidelines are available for DID (e.g. National Institute for health and Care Excellence [NICE] guidelines). The most commonly provided treatment approach for DID is individual psychodynamic psychotherapy (Brand, Classen, McNary, & Zaveri, 2009 ; Putnam & Loewenstein, 1993 ). " References: Huntjens, R. J.
