In the case of dissociative identity disorder, patients who are able to integrate their personalities are:

A) more likely to relapse with more serious problems.
B) more likely to remain relatively free from the symptoms and reduce medication.
C) more likely to develop severe symptoms of other psychological disorders.
D) encouraged to discontinue psychotherapy to measure the effectiveness of the treatment.

Patients with dissociative identity disorder who are able to integrate their personalities are more likely to remain relatively free from symptoms and reduce medication. This is because integration allows for better coping mechanisms and a more unified sense of self, reducing the need for dissociation as a defense mechanism. It is important, however, for integrated patients to continue therapy and follow up with their healthcare provider to prevent relapse.
