A case of multiple personality: diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract

Abstract A case of multiple (4) personality is presented and described. A detailed examination of psychological tests of ability, memory, and personality is undertaken. These data lead to a discussion of the practical and theoretical problems of diagnosis. It is the contention of this paper that dual or multiple personalities should be considered a unique category apart from the traditional concepts of hysteria or schizophrenia. A therapeutic “fusion” is described and evaluated. Der Fall einer multiplen Personlichkeit: Diagnose und Therapie Jeffrey M. Brandsma und Arnold M. Ludwig
