Group psychotherapy for persons with multiple personality and dissociative disorders.

Group psychotherapy is a valuable part of the treatment of patients with multiple personality and dissociative disorders. After reviewing the sparse literature on the subject, the author describes the use of group psychotherapy with these patients alone, as well as with two types of groups in which these patients may participate: incest survivors and general group therapy patients. She concludes by emphasizing the need for expert training for therapists who conduct group psychotherapy with multiple personality and dissociative disorder patients.
