Dissociative Identity Disorder: Integration Versus Non-Integration, Kris Jane Strande

Although most "experts" in the field of Dissociative Disorders subscribe to the treatment goal of integration, this study challenges that idea. As the results of the study indicate, integration was not the most utilized goal of treatment among the participants of this study.
