A number of children who are admitted for inpatient psychiatric treatment have experienced significant trauma and abuse. It is important to evaluate them for the presence of a DD. The variety, complexity, and subtlety of the symptomatic presentation of childhood MPD makes differential diagnosis difficult, and it is probable that many cases have been missed in the past. Detailed historical information and extensive behavioral observations in a variety of settings can assist in establishing the diagnosis and in delineating areas for therapeutic intervention. Hospitalization may be necessary to conduct an adequate evaluation, develop a therapeutic alliance, safely manage behaviors that are injurious to the child or others, and/or to diffuse potentially volatile family situations. All members of a multidisciplinary inpatient team play important roles in the achievement of successful therapeutic intervention with dissociating children and their families. Skilled family therapy is often an important adjunct to therapeutic interventions focused on the child, particularly when the parent also has MPD. Knowledge of the psychodynamic issues involved in dissociation can be used to develop behavioral interventions that are successful in decreasing the child's need to dissociate, improving his or her overall functioning, and help him or her gain mastery over problematic behaviors.
