| | Dissociative Disorders |
| | In Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-IV (American Psychiatric Association, 1994), Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) was changed to Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), reflecting changes in professional understanding of the disorder resulting from significant empirical research. | | | Recently considered rare and mysterious psychiatric curiosities, Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) (previously known as Multiple Personality Disorder-MPD) and other Dissociative Disorders are now understood to be fairly common effects of severe trauma in early childhood, most typically extreme, repeated physical, sexual, and/or emotional abuse. | | | Yes, and no. One of the reasons for the decision by the psychiatric community to change the disorder's name from Multiple Personality Disorder to Dissociative Identity Disorder is that "multiple personalities" is somewhat of a misleading term. |

| | Multiple Personality Disorder, renamed dissociative identity disorder, is the suggestion that one body may serve as a home to multiple individuals, each with their own distinct personality. | | | They act as any other normal personality, because the multiple personalities have their own memories which dictate the personality of the individual or alter personality.(Dr. McQueen) There can be over one hundred personalities in a body, some not even human. | | | To deal with these conflicting thoughts the abused person creates multiple personalities so they can hold these mutually exclusive belief systems concurrently without conflict. (Ross and Gahan 231-239) Also severely abused persons will create multiple personalities to help them deal with the inescapable situation that they are in. |

| | This aspect of the disorder was mentioned in the paper by Alexandria K. Cherry, "Multiple Personality Disorder: Fact or Fiction?" Due to its interesting and changing nature from patient to patient, the area of interaction and expression personalities within the patient warrants further discussion. | | | In "Multiple Personality Disorder: Fact or Fiction?" by Alexandria K. Cherry, valid criticisms are made against Multiple Personality Disorder, currently known as Dissociative Identity Disorder. | | | Another possible source of intrigue that may have aided in the popularity of MPD may be its relatedness to demonic episodes and the seeming ability to "just get away from it all," as I'm sure many have wanted to do. |
