The tools of psychodynamic therapy serve the purpose of bringing disparate elements of the psyche together. These tools originate from a model of the psyche that highlights the symptomatic properties of unresolved and unconscious conflicts, and the tools help to bring these conflicts to awareness so that the patient may confront them. The psychodynamic approach aims to “give [the patient’s] ego back its mastery over lost provinces of his mental life” (Freud, 1969, p. 30) and is well suited for the treatment of dissociative identity disorder (DID). |
