Abstract
Multiple personality disorder, though uncommon, is not an exotic disease; it is not a curiosity, but a vividly etched experiment of nature, one which could teach a great deal about the human mind. A case report is presented and a number of problems in the study of multiple personality are defined; the condition raises questions about ego function, pharmacotherapy and the therapist himself. A hypothesis is developed about the etiology of the dissociation in the present case, and a 1.5 yr follow-up is reported. Multiple personality disorder deserves renewed attention from the general psychiatrist.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
