Summary

This pilot study explores whether combining a trauma-focused therapy called Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) with a supportive group program is feasible and helpful for adults with complex dissociative disorders like Dissociative Identity Disorder. Ten participants will receive weekly individual DBR sessions plus two online group sessions per week for 16 weeks. Researchers will measure recruitment, retention, and symptom changes to see if this integrated approach warrants larger studies.

Active substance

Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) therapy

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a new, tolerable treatment approach for complex dissociative disorders that combines individual therapy with group support.

What could go wrong

This is a very small pilot study with only 10 participants and no comparison group, so results may not apply broadly and the therapy may not prove effective in larger trials.
