Dissociative identity disorder (DID) is one of the dissociative disorder which was difficult to be treated completely. These patients created several identities to be protected from experiencing the pain of inescable and unrelieved trauma and abuse.Engaging these patients in meaningful activities is one of the treatment tools. In this report we presented a young female patient with impression of DID whom had treated with psychodynamic oriented psychotherapy associated with promoting her in painting abilities.

A 19 years old woman with 15 separate identities was described. In the first sessions, therapist identified her famous ability to draw. (one of her first paintings was associated with this abstract). During four years treatment, gradually she became an amateur painter. At the end of therapy she drew famous paintings instead of childish ones (induced in article). At this time she had nearly full integrated personality.

Painting could play a role not only as an useful instrument to discover patient's conflict, but also a complementary tool for integrating patient's personality in one strong personality.
