| dc.description.abstract | We describe 21 male patients meeting DSM-111-R and NIMH criteria for multiple personality disorder (MPD). They were compared with female patients in the NIMH data base on MPD and dissociative disorders. Striking similarities between males and females were found on most variables. Both groups had extensive childhood histories of sexual and physical abuse far exceeding the prevalences reported for other clinical and non-clinical populations. There were trends for males to have more alcoholism and antisocial behavior. Generally, males had more subtle clinical presentations than females and reported fewer alter personalities. Implications of these findings and the limitations of the present study are discussed. | en |
