Various findings from a retrospective survey of 355 multiple personality disorder (MPD) patients and 235 major depression patients, who served as a comparison group, are discussed. The survey was completed by 448 independent clinicians, 142 of whom contributed information on both an MPD and a major depression patient. The study confirms recent findings in the literature that MPD is not a rare disorder, its sufferers include a preponderance of females, and it is highly correlated with childhood trauma, especially sexual and physical abuse. In addition, the study indicates that clinicians who diagnose MPD perceive clinical phenomena in a manner similar to those clinicians who have not yet made this diagnosis.

Today patients who describe to a therapist fragmentary flashbacklike scenes of participation in satanic rituals face the same credibility problems that twenty years ago would have confronted a patient who was recounting scenes of sadistic incestuous abuse. Some clinicians have only one conceptual framework within which to place such material; they hear it as delusional. This paper presents another set of descriptions of satanic rituals: those drawn by historians from pre-Inquisition primary sources. The aim is to assist clinicians in considering as one possibility that such a patient is describing fragmented or partially dissociated memories of actual events. As early as the fourth century elements of a satanic mass were well described: 1) a ritual table or altar; 2) ritual orgiastic sex; 3) reversals of the Catholic mass; 4) ritual use of excretions; 5) infant or child sacrifice and cannibalism often around initiation and often, involving use of a knife, and ritual use of; 6) animals; 7) fire or candles; and 8) chanting. Extending the historical search from 400 to 1200A.D. yields only a few new elements; 9) ritual use of drugs, and 10) of the circle, and 11) ritual dismemberment of corpses. Two clinical accounts of satanic rituals are compared with historical accounts. Ideally, the possibility that a patient had experienced actual involvement in some bizarre and abusive ritual would be one of many possible viewpoints explored in the therapeutic unraveling of such material.

In the past ten years incest and child abuse have been brought into public awareness as social problems. During the same time period there has been a significant increase in knowledge and understanding about the phenomenon of multiple personality. However, though multiple personality is almost invariably an outcome of severe childhood abuse, it has been thus far seen almost entirely in a psychological light, as a personal problem for suffering individuals. This article explores the issue of multiple personality from a feminist perspective, using basic concepts of poststructuralism to elucidate this viewpoint. Examining the social and political aspects of the issue of multiple personality expands our capacity to address the problem in the broadest possible way and to look at questions of prevention as well as assessment and treatment.

Clinical data are presented on a Native American patient diagnosed with multiple personality disorder. Eleven subpersonalities were found to contain four human and seven non-human components. Findings indicated child abuse was at the core of the developmental process. However; once alter components manifested themselves, cultural/actors reinforced and maintained the process. Evaluation of hypnotic susceptibility indicated all subpersonalities were highly hypnotizable. Analysis of visual acuity on two occasions, separated by 30 days, indicated significant differences among a number of the alters, i.e., 20/15 to 20/50. Test/retest scores indicated the visual acuity scores were highly reliable. Evaluation of neurosensory memory on two occasions, separated by 30 days, indicated significant differences in visual, auditory, and kinesthetic test results for some of the alters. Test/retest scores indicated the neurosensory test results were highly reliable. The results are discussed in terms of a) implication of test differences, b) the reliability of test results, and c) treatment problems encountered with human and animal subpersonalities.

A century ago there occurred a peak of interest in dissociation and the dissociative disorders, then labeled hysteria. The most important scientific and clinical investigator of this subject was Pierre Janet (1859-1947), whose early body of work is reviewed here. The evolution of his dissociation theory and its major principles are traced throughout his writings. Janet's introduction of the term "subconscious " and his concept of the existence of consciousness outside of personal awareness are explained. The viability and relevance of dissociation as the underlying phenomenon in a wide range of disorders is presented. It is proposed that, Janet's theory and methodology of psychological analysis and dynamic psychotherapy are cogent and relevant for today's students and practitioners.

Attention to the relationship between hypnotizability and dissociation has been limited to date. A few studies have examined instances of dissociation in the context of hypnosis. Only recently have researchers begun to ask questions about the relationship between an individual's hypnotizability and his or her tendency to dissociate on a day-to-day basis. A review of the literature and recent research in this area invites reconsideration of J. Hilgard 's theory of two developmental pathways to hypnotizability. The parallel question is also raised of whether the different pathways result in the experience of qualitatively different hypnotic states.

Two studies are reported demonstrating that individual differences in dissociation in college students are positively related to differences in self-reported stressful or traumatic experiences in youth. In Study I differences in the degree of stress or unpredictable physical violence experienced in childhood or early adolescence were shown to be related to scores on the Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES). Study II replicated these relationships and extended them to another dissociation measure, the Bliss scale. Study II also demonstrated that both dissociation measures correlate positively with reported physical and psychological abuse. These findings for a nonclinical population are discussed in relation to the etiology of dissociation in clinical groups.
