title: Multiple personality disorders: treatment coordination in a partial hospital setting.
abstract: Many patients with multiple personality disorder (MPD) can be effectively treated in a partial hospital setting. Partial hospital treatment teams and their patients develop and manage a safe transitional environment that contains the therapy and begins the process of independent functioning in the community. Not all patients with MPD can be treated in partial hospital settings. The author provides guidelines for appropriate placement of these patients.
