This technique helped Paula eliminate three of her alter personalities. Also, the understanding of Paula’s daughter made it easier for Paula to cope with the stress. Even though there has not been much research about DID, due to the lack of research material, the way Dr. Harpin dealt with Paula’s case of DID was according to the treatment, which left the best result for…
