  My Friend Has Multiple Personalities
Persons with multiple personalities have refined this ability and used it to protect themselves from pain and to enable themselves to continue functioning in spite of it.
We don't consider multiple personalities to be an indicator of spiritual weakness or lack of spiritual growth.
When society learns to view the development and functioning of alternate personalities in some persons as a natural response to trauma, and learns to react to multiples in an accepting and caring way, it may be possible for alters to freely perform their functions in assisting the survivor to cope with the stresses of life.

 multiple personality disorder (dissociative identity disorder)
Multiple personality disorder (MPD) is a psychiatric disorder characterized by having at least one "alter" personality that controls behavior.
Psychologist Nicholas P. Spanos argues that repressed memories of childhood abuse and multiple personality disorder are "rule-governed social constructions established, legitimated, and maintained through social interaction." In short, Spanos argues that most cases of MPD have been created by therapists with the cooperation of their patients and the rest of society.
Multiple selves exist, and have existed in other cultures, without being related to the notion of a mental disorder, as is the case today in North America.

 IPT Journal - "Multiple Personalities: Some Psychoanalytic Listening Perspectives"
I wish to stress the importance of considering multiple etiological possibilities because a therapist committed to the position that a person with multiple personalities was invariably molested may become enmeshed in a serious and naive listening error.
In therapy, quests for connection to the person of the therapist or for experiences with various part-aspects of the therapist or the early part-other milieu are bound to take many forms which may seem as puzzling to the therapist as the seemingly odd things which infants seem to request from their parents.
In the multiple personality, as the therapist responds to each different self and attempts to understand the various selves and, in turn, their relations to one another and to various experiences of others, a reliable communication system (largely nonverbal or paraverbal at first) will begin to evolve.

 Multiple personality
In the 1950s, the phenomenon of multiple personalities came to the attention of the general public in the form of a motion picture called "The Three Faces of Eve." It was based upon the treatment of a woman who appeared to manifest three separate personalities.
While multiple personality was a rare and unusual diagnosis prior to the 50s, in the 70s and 80s it became much more common.
A therapist who is strongly motivated to "find multiple personalities" might inadvertently harm a patient by doing the opposite, namely by encouraging the patient to perceive conflicting feelings and thoughts as expressions of different personalities, thereby interfering with that integrative process.

 Multiple Personalities
Certainly several personalities in one body disagreeing with one another would appear to be a failure to coordinate internal drives.
In his readings Cayce did not directly address the issue of multiple personalities, though he spoke of discarnate entities who can possess the body of a living person, and discussed as well the impact of past lives on the life currently being lived.
While the stated treatment goal for MPD is to reintegrate the disparate personalities into one, host personality, practitioners who specialize in the disorder have found that while some of the alter egos would merge, three to five well developed, highly individualized personalities would remain for life.

 Dissociative identity disorder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
To qualify as dissociative identity disorder (multiple personality disorder), at least two personalities must routinely take alternate control of the individual's behavior, and there must be a loss of memory that goes beyond normal forgetfulness.

 Definition of Multiple Personality Disorder
The goal of therapy should not be integrating the various personalities, but getting the patients over their false belief (delusion) that they had other personalities at all.
The Original Personality is the only one capable of having such a "false belief," but she is not in executive control of the body or participating in social life at all.
There are multiple personalities alternating control of this body, awaiting the end to the abuse and the arrival of a therapist who can work with the ISH to bring the Original Personality back in charge.

 Dissociative Disorders   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
For example, during a traumatic experience, a person may dissociate the memory of the place and circumstances of the trauma from his ongoing memory, resulting in a temporary mental escape from the fear and pain of the trauma and, in some cases, a memory gap surrounding the experience.
A person diagnosed with DID feels as if she has within her two or more entities, or personality states, each with its own independent way of relating, perceiving, thinking, and remembering about herself and her life.
Other terms often used by therapists and survivors to describe these entities are: "alternate personalities," "alters," "parts," "states of consciousness," "ego states," and "identities." It is important to keep in mind that although these alternate states may appear to be very different, they are all manifestations of a single person.

It refers to a person who gives the appearance of being cooperative and yet whose continual procrastination and dawdling are really an unconscious manipulation reflecting hostility.
Personality disorders have their essential basis in defending ego satisfaction and protecting it from interpersonal threat, so you will benefit much to learn, as the psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan taught, that “I” is an illusion.
As long as the main personality turns away from perversion and self-indulgence (the very things which define satanism in the first place) and, like a shepherd protecting the flock, learns to embrace true love and forgiveness as the core of life for all the alters, then there is nothing to despair.

She cannot admit the possibility that the terror they are experiencing might be an artifact of her therapy rather than symptoms of past abuse.

 Interviews unmask multiple personalities Science News - Find Articles
In addressing the mysterious phenomenon of multiple personality, the psychiatric community assumes a split personality of its own.
Some members hold fast to the traditional view that true multiple personality disorder (MPD) is extremely rare, and that the drastic increase in its diagnosis over the past decade largely reflects a U.S. fad fueled by movies such as "Sybil." Others see the disorder as a genuine affliction in need of greater recognition.
Ross reports, for example, that 90 percent of the patients believed another person existed inside them; 82 percent heard voices coming from within; 74 percent referred to themselves as "we" or "us." And the vast majority echoed a disturbing pattern noted in recent MPD studies: a personal history of intense suffering.

Chip's first personality came out as we saw him working with the software he used to keep track of the garage's finances.
The wide variance in the types of taxpayers (for example, corporations, partnerships, and personal) would demand real flexibility for the core user package that probably wouldn't be required for any of the ring users.
The designers of the core package would need to do a fair amount of research of tax prep professionals to understand how their businesses operate, learning what kinds of reports are needed, how data is entered, and other procedural details that currently exist.
