The treatment goal for Dissociative Identity Disorder is to?

• A. Keep separate identities
• B. Erase memories of trauma
• C. Enhance compartmentalization
• D. Integrate to get the original true personality in charge

Answer: (D)

The main concept here is integration of dissociated identities into a single cohesive self. In Dissociative Identity Disorder, trauma can lead to distinct identities that take control at different times. Treatment aims to reduce fragmentation by helping the person achieve a unified sense of self, with the original core identity often in leadership, so functioning, safety, and self-control improve. This involves processing trauma and improving communication among parts, rather than erasing memories or keeping identities separate. The goal is not to maintain multiple, compartmentalized selves but to bring them together into one integrated person who can act with consistent control.
