Dissociative disorders have heterogenic and mostly dramatic manifestation. Dissociative states are frequently present in patiens suffering
from other psychiatric disorders. Usually we can find a context between dissociative disorder and traumatic experience in the patients
history. The psychogenic etiology is evident. Dissociation is the psychological defence against unbearable stress. The promptitude for
reaction to stress with disociation begans in the disharmonious childhood. Disorder persisting several years becomes chronic and resisting
to treatment. The first choice of the therapies are psychoterapeutic interventions, hypnosis is in the lead of therapeutic interventions.
Hypnosis can be used symptomaticly or causally alone with good outcome, or with other psychoterapeutic approach.
