Multiple Personalities</p>
<p>
Multiple personalities is a psychological disorder, marked by the existence of two or more distinct identities, or personality states, in one individual. It involves the compartmentalization of the psychological domain into different identities, so that they form distinct manifestations of the same individual. There is no overlap or association between these several identities, each forming a separate personality state, dissociated from the other, each surfacing as the predominant personality state as a conditioned response to particular threats, each oblivious of the existence of the other personality state. The fragmented personality states are referred to as alters, and the patients have been observed to have an intrinsic predisposition to splitting, to survive tremendous trauma. The cause of multiple personality is attributed to severe and prolonged physical and/or psychological trauma, experienced by the victim in their childhood, generally by a care-giver, who may or may not be the victim's parent. The victims resort to dissociation from his central personality state, to cope with severe and repeated abuse, as a natural survival mechanism. Such a fragmentation of the central personality into different personality states, acts as an anaesthetic to the victim, so that they are able to divide the extreme trauma and survive the ordeals. The pattern of dissociation becomes an entrenched second nature to the victim, so that they are able to split their central personality into numerous fragments over the course of their life. The dominant personality bearing the real name of the individual is usually despondent, remorseful and resigned. The different identities have unique sets of characteristic traits, history and bear different names, so they are strikingly different from the primary self. Since, the phenomenon of multiple personalities involves the fragmentation of identities, rather than the proliferation of identities, it has also been referred to as Dissociative Identity Disorder.</p>
