Abstract
A considerable number of cases of multiple personality disorder (MPD) have been reported by clinicians working in the continental United States of America (USA). However, there has never been a documentation of MPD in a Latin American country. Here I report three cases of Puerto Rican patients with MPD whose symptom profile and etiological background are strikingly similar to the ones reported in the USA. It is recommended that Latin American mental health professionals should become more aware of and clinically sensitive to this increasingly recognized conditions.
