The Older Female Patient With a Complex Chronic Di

The senior(a) Female Patient with a Complex chronic divisible Disorder Richard P. Kluft, MD SUMMARY. divisible disorders are seldom considered in the diag- nostic assessment of senior women, despite the fact that the existence, ap- pearance and characteristics of real dissociative disorders in senior(a) populations permit been known and described since the 1980s. This com- munication re imbibes the internality phenomena of Dissociative Identity Disor- der and related forms of Dissociative Disorder no Otherwise Specified, the natural history of their phenomena from youth to old age, and de- scribes crude presentations of dissociative disorders in quondam(a) women. It also reviews the treatment of interlocking chronic dissociative disorders and discusses resource approaches to their psychotherapy in the older fe- male patient. It is crucial to key out and respect the sizeableness of appre- ciating individual differences among older dissociative patients a nd to secernate their treatments accordingly. doi:10.1300/J074v19n01_08 [Article copies useable for a fee from The Haworth memorandum rescue Ser- vice: 1-800-HAWORTH. email address: Website: © 2007 by The Haworth Press, Inc.
