title: Multiple personality. A case study.
abstract: This paper presents a single case study of multiple personality that developed from traumatic experiences in early childhood and adolescence. The paper discusses how the therapist's attention can reinforce the development of new personalities. Hypnosis, psychotherapy and advancing age all have an effect on the resolution of multiple personality. In this case, there was only partial success in resolving all the personalities, because of earlier reinforcement.
