The main forms of treatment for bipolar personality are psychotherapy and medication. Psychotherapy mainly includes hypnosis, memory extraction, integration, and cognitive-behavioural therapy. In hypnotherapy, for example, the doctor hypnotises the patient and uses regression to help the patient revert to a time when he or she was in a different personality state, or to awaken to a different identity or personality state.
Memory extraction therapy, where the doctor uses a variety of measures to help the patient break through the barriers of forgetfulness, thus helping the patient to deal with painful emotions, inappropriate self-blame, and other reactions. Integration therapy, which achieves the integration of the patient’s different states, allows the patient to feel that its possible for him or her to gradually control his or her dissociative process while coping with the traumatic memories.
