Abstract
Two cases of multiple personality were studied neurophysiologically and neuropsychologically. Bilateral frontal (Right > Left) and left temporal dysfunction was present in both cases, on neuropsychological indicators. Both cases on EEG analysis, were in a state of relative left hemisphere activation, across all cerebral regions and task conditions. The one case who was cured with hypnotherapy, after recovery showed normal left hemisphere functions neuropsychologically but remained in a state of relative left hemisphere activation electrophysiologically. This is in contrast to women with chronic hysteria who exhibit relative right hemisphere activation in all regions and across all conditions. Both patients were unmedicated throughout. A neurophysiological model to account for these findings is presented.
