Treatment of Dissociative Identity Disorder with Neurotherapy and Group Self-Exploration

Manchester, Carol F., Allen, Tom, Tachiki, Ken H. (1998) · Journal of Neurotherapy

The eficacy of integrating Neurofeedback techniques with internal self-exploration was evaluated as a procedure for the treatment of Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). These procedures employed a modification of the alpphaltheta neurofeedbaclzprocedures previously described by Peniston and Kulkosky (1991). Eleven female subjects meeting DSM-121-R (1987) criteria for DID were provided with 30 sessions of Neurofeedback and 10 group sessions as treatment. Subjects were administered the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inuentory-II (Millon, 1987)and the Global Assessment of Functioning scale (DSM-ID-R, 1987) before and after 30 neurofeedback sessions. One to three years post treatment, subjects completed a Dissociative Experience Scale questionnaire (Bernstein and Putnam 2986) to assess the long term efficacy of treatment. Neurofeedback training coupled with internal self-exploration served as an effective treatment modality for the unification ofpatients with DID. OfII patients treated, 21 were assessed as unijkd post treatment. All subjects scored as normal on the Dissociative Experience Scale (Bernstein and Putnarn, 1986)for at least one year post treatment.
