What is Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD)?
In MPD, most recently known as Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), a person experiences and displays at various times two or more distinct personalities. Often, these personalities are not aware of the existence of the other(s), which may result in some of the personalities having significant portions of time for which they have no memory.
What "Causes" MPD?
There is no proven single cause for MPD. However, many experts theorize that MPD is primarily caused by trauma or extreme stress. Many researchers have found a strong connection between MPD and the experience of severe childhood abuse. In fact, some researchers have argued that victims of severe trauma and abuse may develop MPD as a survival mechanism to escape from the event that is outside the range of normal human experience.
How Do I Know If Someone Has MPD?
MPD is very difficult to diagnose, even for experienced clinicians. Most people occasionally display at least some of the symptoms of MPD, even though they do not have MPD. However, if you suspect that you or someone you care for has MPD, you might consider a referral to a psychotherapist who specializes with this psychological disorder, as well as any additional specialties that might be useful to you or the one about whom you are concerned.
Is there a treatment for MPD?
The typical goal for treatment of MPD is to integrate the divided personalities into one self. This is most commonly achieved through psychotherapy which may or may not include hypnosis performed by an experienced psychologist or psychiatrist. Research has demonstrated that psychiatric medications tend to be ineffective for people with MPD unless they are required for additional disorders such as anxiety or depression.
What are the symptoms of MPD?
The following are common symptoms of MPD. However, as previously cautioned, many people who do not have MPD may experience some of these symptoms. (Most people with MPD experience most of these symptoms.) Therefore, only a psychotherapist with considerable experience with clients with MPD should make a diagnosis.
Loss of time: "blackouts" unrelated to drugs, alcohol or neurological disorders.
Cannot recall a very large portion of childhood
Spontaneous trance states: staring …and even may talk to oneself
Marked differences in manner, voice, or dress from one time to the next
Varying insistence on identifying oneself with a different name
Thought withdrawal: "going blank," often in mid-sentence
Mood shifts: sudden unpredictable or explainable mood swings
Little forgetfulness: for example, lighting a cigarette while another is still burning
Peculiar forgetfulness: for example, thoroughly learning school material then totally forgetting it the next day
Headaches
Thought insertion: surprising and atypical thoughts seem to be imposed in thoughts or "just happen"
Imposed Emotions: surges of unexplainable emotions "out of the blue" that are not owned or claimed
Imposed Impulses: strong impulses to perform actions that are not felt to be one’s own.The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function. -- F. Scott Fitzgerald
