The aim of this paper is to analyze the Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) basically through two points of view: the first, about how it has been understood by the public and the people who do not know this pathology, especially as a result of its media success, like a great deal of movies about it that have been produced. The second, analyzing it from a medical and psychopathological point of view, pointing out on the criteria that classify and characterize it and on the unconscious causes and dynamics to which this disorder can be imputed. Lastly, the focus will be on hypnosis technique as a psychotherapeutic tool that has proved to be beneficial in the treatment of this disorder, whose use as a "reintegrator" tool for splitted parts of personality has meant the key of the reestablishment process. Two cases in the literature will also be presented for demonstration purposes.
Keywords: Dissociative identity disorder, dissociation, hypnosis, multiple personality.
