Abstract

The authors organized the art productions of clients diagnosed as suffering multiple personality disorder into ten basic categories reflecting thematic, structural, and process elements. These categories were derived from the study of nearly two thousand pictures drawn over a period of nine years. Designed to aid therapists in the identification of multiplicity, these categories can also be used as a framework to help therapists understand the spontaneous artwork of multiples.
