This is an exceptionally well-done and clinically accurate article on dissociative identity responses (historically referred to as “multiple personality disorder”). It offers a nuanced and compassionate portrayal of a condition that is very real, frequently misunderstood, and often intentionally hidden—both from others and, at times, from the individual themselves.
