Children and adults with dissociative identity disorders (DID) have been largely misdiagnosed or undiagnosed despite the presence of this condition in all the international psychiatric classifications. Given the success of such rare treatments how and why has this happened? This workshop with explore the key elements that underpin DID – namely trauma at a young age combined with a disorganised attachment. Additionally, DID, multiple personality states, threatens the Western concepts of a solid single ego as well as raising fears of legal and police involvement as DID is a creative response to a crime.
