A minority of these recent patients demonstrate extreme complexity. A group of 26 patients with 26 or more personalities and under observation for a minimum of three years was studied. Their presentations, the reasons that appeared to underlie their complexity, and their courses of treatment are reviewed. Findings indicate that this group of patients is diverse, with some proving readily treatable, and others proving quite refractory. Observations that appear constructive for the treatment of such patients are offered. The concept of personality is discussed and an alternative description is explored. The usefulness of the paradigms and metaphors of splitting and division as heuristics for the understanding of MPD is challenged, and a paradigm/metaphor of redoubling and reconfiguration is offered for further study. 522604 bytes application/pdf en_US Ridgeview Institute and the International Society for the Study of Multiple Personality and Dissociation Dissociation : Vol. 1, No. 4, p. 047-058 : The phenomenology and treatment of extremely complex multiple personality disorder The phenomenology and treatment of extremely complex multiple personality disorder Article

Results of many scholarly studies indicate that children typically follow predictable stages in their artistic growth with one stage or set of drawing behaviors building upon the preceding stages. It will be shown that MPD patients function artistically at different stages of creative growth, thus precluding artistic growth to flow smoothly, gradually, and predictably as it does in non-MPD individuals. The discontinuity in representative stages in the artwork of MPD patients will be addressed. 699569 bytes application/pdf en_US Ridgeview Institute and the International Society for the Study of Multiple Personality and Dissociation Dissociation : Vol. 1, No. 4, p. 033-040 : Art, Interpretation, and Multiple Personality Disorder Art, Interpretation, and Multiple Personality Disorder Article

It has been theorized that development of multiple personality disorder (MPD) may be related to temporal lobe pathology. We administered the Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES) to 12 male patients with severe chronic epilepsy, primarily of the complex partial type. Patients had had epilepsy from one to thirty years. Most were being evaluated for intractable seizures occurring several times per week. DES data on the epileptic patients were compared with DES data on 9 male MPD patients and 39 male PTSD patients. MPD and PTSD patients were significantly different from CPS patients on median DES scores and all DES sub-scale scores. MPD and PTSD patients were far more similar on the DES, although MPD patients had a significantly higher score on the dissociation/psychogenic amnesia sub-scale of the DES. The authors conclude that there is little data to support a relationship between MPD, dissociation, and epilepsy. 454882 bytes application/pdf en_US Ridgeview Institute and the International Society for the Study of Multiple Personality and Dissociation Dissociation : Vol. 1, No. 4, p. 017-023 : A comparison study of dissociative symtoms in patients with complex partial seizures, MPD, and posttraumatic stress disorder A comparison study of dissociative symtoms in patients with complex partial seizures, MPD, and posttraumatic stress disorder Article

This paper will describe the dysfunctional assumptive and perceptual categories that form the building blocks of MPD patients' distorted experiences. Perceptual shifting techniques and cognitive reframing will consequently be the recommended interventions prior to therapeutic abreactive work. 362906 bytes application/pdf en_US Ridgeview Institute and the International Society for the Study of Multiple Personality and Dissociation Dissociation : Vol. 1, No. 4, p. 005-010 : Thoughts on the cognitive perceptual substrates of multiple personality disorder Thoughts on the cognitive perceptual substrates of multiple personality disorder Article
