There is a good book by Claire Frederick and Maggie Phillips that focuses on
the use of Hypnotherapy in working with Dissociative Conditions.

Disorder?



I would search for psychiatrists who specialize in treating DID. It is a
controversial diagnosis, as these links show:

-diagnosis/>

This person appears to have "written the book" about treatment, though I
haven't read it:

903299> com/Treating-Dissociative-Identity-Disorder-James/dp/0787903299

I'm not aware of anyone who treats it with medication alone.
Here are treatment guidelines, again I am not approving them or disapproving
them:
