Abstract: | ABSTRACT A case study of a pivotal crisis in the treatment of a woman with Dissociative Identity Disorder illustrates attachment dilemmas and strategies as they are re-enacted within the treatment. Attachment theory has been applied to the development of dissociative disorders by Barach (1991) and Blizard (1997). The case crisis under study demonstrates how the resolution of an attachment conflict, expressed by two alters in regard to the transference, facilitated significant integration. |
