Abstract: Identifies mental health rehabilitation services for patients with multiple personality disorder (MPD). Through the use of a literature review and a retrospective examination of 20 female MPD patients' (aged 18-49 yrs) records, the frequency of discipline-specific services is noted in occupational therapy, art therapy, movement therapy, vocational counseling, and recreational therapy. The need for mental health clinicians to continue to create a dialog in the literature by reporting their clinical and research efforts with MPD patients is emphasized.
