title: Meet Dr Jekyll: a case of a psychiatrist with dissociative identity disorder.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Dissociative identity disorder (DID) is a controversial psychiatric diagnosis. This case review presents a retired psychiatrist with a history of DID.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This case is used to illustrate current thinking about the characteristics and aetiology of DID. It also argues for the importance of being aware of both our personal and professional biases in our own clinical practice.
