Abstract

Atypical relapses and unusually intense emotional pain in patients being treated for chemical dependency can alert clinicians to the possibility of comorbid dissociative disorders.

Referral for concurrent individual psychotherapy to a clinician knowledgeable about dissociative disorders is recommended.
