Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>Survivors with dissociative identity disorder (DID) often report a history of traumatic events in their lives. Past studies indicated a link between trauma, resilience, and spiritual coping in both positive and negative aspects of a survivor's life. This article includes a review of existing literature salient to these constructs in relation to <underline>i</underline>ndividuals with DID, as well as results from a study examining the relationships between these constructs and individuals with DID (<italic>N</italic> = 52). Implications are discussed based on the findings for counselors treating individuals with DID.</p> </abstract>
