Child Abuse And Multiple Personality Disorder
Philip M. Coons, M.D.
Department of Psychiatry, Indiana University School of Medicine
Abstract: The syndrome of multiple personality is associated with a high incidence of physical and/or sexual abuse in childhood. Occasionally those with multiple personality abuse their own children. Multiple personality is difficult to diagnose both because of the nature of the syndrome and because of professional reluctance. Although multiple personality is most difficult to diagnose during childhood because of the subtlety of the syndrome. The much higher morbidity found in adult cases makes it imperative that it be diagnosed and treated early in order to avoid further abuse and greater morbidity and to shorten treatment time. This review describes the history, clinical features and treatment of multiple personality, particularly in children, in addition to exploring the professional reluctance to make the diagnosis. Introduction: MULTIPLE PERSONALITY DISORDER is of special interest to clinicians interested in child abuse and neglect because patients with multiple personality were almost invariably abused either physically or sexually when they were children. Like other victims of child abuse. sometimes those with multiple personality abuse their children. Also. like child abuse. there is a professional reluctance to diagnose multiple personality. Perhaps most importantly, clinicians working in the area of child abuse have the opportunity of diagnosing incipient multiple personality in children and initiate early intervention leading to successful treatment.

43. EXORCISM AND MPD FROM A CATHOLIC PERSPECTIVE
The degree and symptoms of the fragmentation may vary, but the most severeand chronic form occurs in multiple personality disorder (MPD).
http://jmahoney.com/exorcism.html
EXORCISM AND MPD FROM A CATHOLIC PERSPECTIVE Added to that issue is the highly variable use of language, with some religious groups considering any encounter with impulses not easily controlled, or an emotional illness not responding to treatment as being evidence of possession or influence by the demonic. Thus, a religious community can refer to being oppressed or possessed "by the spirit of anger" when there is difficulty for someone in controlling their temper. I would like to limit my discussion to the idea of exorcism and its implications in the context of the usual theological and cultural understanding of Catholics. In this discussion, I would define demonic possession as a continuing state or presence of an evil entity that is not "of the person." That external entity is capable of direct control of the person and/or taking over of the person’s body. I would define demonic oppression as a continuing state of severe assault by an external evil entity, but the person retains control of behavior and of the body. Both possession and oppression are far more than a situation of temptation, and are inherently direct contacts with the presence of evil. I would define exorcism as a religious attempt, using prayers, religious symbols, and orders to expel an evil entity. As soon as there is an attempt at expulsion, with a perception that

Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD)
Another PsychoHeresy!*
"Christian" psychology has once again joined hands with the world. Christians are actively involved with alleged multiple personalities, both as therapists and as patients. Besides following the world in diagnosis and treatment, they may add exorcism and/or a new kind of evangelism that seeks to save each and every alternate personality just to be sure the entire person will go to heaven.
Since Christians are diagnosing and treating other Christians as if they have "multiple personality disorder" (MPD), we must ask two questions: (1) Is MPD a scientifically established diagnosis or is it the latest fad in the mysterious world of psychology and psychiatry?; and
(2) Can one remain true to Biblical orthodoxy while combining it with secular MPD diagnosis and treatment? MPD is one of the most fascinating and seemingly mind-boggling psychiatric phenomena today. It is also one of the fastest growing segments of psychiatric consumerism. Its growth parallels the booming business of recovering (or constructing) memories of abuse and satanic ritual abuse (SRA) . They go together. Consider the case of Lucy Abney, who entered treatment for depression and ended up with 100 alternate personalities after two years of therapy. Besides developing so-called MPD, Abney "relived" such horrendous "memories" as sacrificing three of her children and drinking blood. Although Abney admits that "the memories were very real, very vivid," she has concluded they were not based on reality. They were fantasy.1

When you're at a party, just jamming with some friends, it's a given that any request for a song will get exponentially weirder the later it gets. You have to be alert between the hours of midnight ("Hey, let's do "After Midnight!"") and three A.M. ("I do so know all the verses of "American Pie!"); you have to be ready for anything. So when I heard the guys say "Going To California?" a little after two one Sunday morning last summer, I thought, "I've never played this before!" "Hell, I can't even remember the last time I heard it." (And no, I'm not schizophrenic - I simply have "conversions" with myself on occasion) "But I have heard it before; I know the song, therefore I can play it." And I said, "Sure. What key?"

Possession, multiple-personality disorder
(Sun Mar 26 18:45:38 CST 1995) Certain rash people have asserted that, just as there are no mice where there are no cats, so no one is possessed where there are no exorcists.
-Georg Christoph Lichtenberg, Aphorisms F 134 Multiple-personality disorder is just what it sounds like: a clinical psychiatric condition whose sufferers exhibit more than one apparent personality in a single body. Some therapists claim over a hundred personalities in one body, which may present themselves as differing from the body in age, appearance, sex, language and even species. (Some therapists claim to have uncovered vegetable and even inanimate personalities.) I have tried to use language as neutral about this as possible, since there is a great deal of controversy about what, exactly, is going on in these lunatics, and even what they should be called. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, that judicious compromise between clinical knowledge, professional politics and random social prejudice, in the new fourth edition has eliminted ``multiple personality disorder'' and put ``disssociative identity disorder'' in its place. The popular name is still ``schizophrenia,'' but that properly belongs to another mental disorder altogether, and one with, ironically, a much firmer grip in reality. William

The Infinite Mind: Multiple Personality Disorder Week of December 8, 1998 (Originally aired June 8, 1998) From time to time, we all experience differing states of mind, like happiness or anger, but underneath our changing reactions to the changing world around us lies our personality, fixed and stable traits that determines who we are. Hence, switching from one personality to another in a moment seems strange, even frightening. The root of the condition we call multiple personality disorder is dissociation. Mild dissociation, the feeling we get when we "zone out" when things feel too overwhelming, is considered a normal defense mechanism. But when children exposed to severe, prolonged trauma must dissociate constantly, the need to shift from one personality state to another can become permanent. Carol Jean Darby Cline would often find herself greeted by people she didn't recognize, or suddenly find herself in a place without any idea of how she got there. Cline wrote

"An encyclopedic volume, certainly the definitive textbook of the disorder."
-Journal of Clinical Psychiatry "The book promises to be a synthesis of the ideas, techniques, and treatment philosophies about MPD. It delivers on these promises and more....The sober, detailed, step-by-step guide through every conceivable aspect of the complex therapy of these patients provides a balanced guide for all clinicians dealing with multiple personality and other dissociative disorders. Putnam's work will be the standard in the field for a long time to come. In breadth of scope, clarity of style, and lucidity of ideas it may even surpass Janet's classic works on the subject."
-Bessel van der Kolk, MD, Massachusetts Mental Health Center Trauma Clinic Director, Harvard Medical School, Author of Psychological Trauma Written for the wide range of professionals that come into contact with MPD, this volume will be of interest to psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, social workers, and other mental health practitioners. Also, because a disproportionate number of people with MPD were at one time victims of sexual abuse, any therapist working with sex abuse victims should be familiar with the information found here.

    Multiple Personality Disorder
    Few psychological disorders have interested people as much as multiple personality disorder. Movies like Sybil and The Three Faces of Eve have been very popular. Multiple personality disorder is now known as dissociative identity disorder. Everyone has different sides to their personalities. Sometimes we may be serious and sometimes playful. Some people may show a change in their personalities when they are drinking or using drugs. Dissociative personality disorder is different. In it, more than one distinct identity exists within a person's body. These identities control behavior. The person has an inability to remember important personal information. This problem is too severe to be explained by ordinary forgetfulness. The person with a dissociative identity disorder has a primary identity that usually carries the individual's given name. This identity is usually depressed, guilty, passive, and dependent. Other identities, or personalities, generally have their own names, likes, dislikes, and skills. Different personalities may act like they have different ages, genders, or races. There may be as few as two identities or more than one hundred. The personalities may or may not have knowledge of the others. Stress tends to bring on changes in personalities.
