Abstract

The term "iatrogenesis" has both intensional and extensional (i.e., connotative and denotative) meanings which are frequently confused. While the four previous papers of the David Caul Memorial Symposium on iatrogenic issues in multiple personality disorder explore the extensional sense of the term, the discussant of this symposium focuses on the "iatrogenic debate" over MPD in its intensional form, augmenting the scope of the discussion considerably. His comments are based on extensive conversations with David Caul about the subject during the year preceding Dr. Caul's untimely death.
