Does anyone know anything about or anyone with multiple personality disorder? A boy that I'm seeing has been really understanding about my bd because his mom has mpd and I want to be able to understand it other than what I've seen in books and tv shows. Just curious if anyone here had any insight to offer.

I'd like to try to help you but I'm ashamed to say I'm a total basket case. I've dated a woman with multiple personality disorder and I had a grant stolen from under my nose by another woman with multiple personality disorder. Both women tore my life apart in one way or another and to be honest if I encountered someone else with that particular disorder I would get away as quickly as possible. Just like people should do with me...

It is no longer called mpd, but instead is DID for dissociative identity disorder. That might help get you started. Colin Ross is an expert in the area.

Hi AmandaBart. I(we) have multiple personality disorder. You can read more about me/us here at
http://annsmultipleworldofpers...
or perhaps more importantly, you can read more about multiplicity both pro- and con- at my second website
http://newsdidmpd.blogspot.com.
I have just started the work of combining through annotated quotes from people who are multiples writing in blogs and from people who discuss multiplicity like you are doing here. On the left sidebar on the news blog, you can scroll down and read the blogs of about 150 people who are multiples.
I'm really sorry Ardentone that you had a bad experience with a couple of multiples. I don't think they were "bad" because they were multiple, but probably because they were lacking some kind of skill or asset that was important to you. Castillo you are correct that MPD is called DID according to the DSM-IV (psychiatric diagnosis manual). Most people are still using both terms as if it really never sunk in that things were to have changed.
There is controversy as to whether Colin Ross is an expert or whether or not he malpracticed. He was part of the bedrock of present day multiplicity was built, but there are those who hold him as disrespectful in the field. This is a VERY long scenario where a group of guys lay out the "truth" negatively about Ross
http://www.process.org/discept...
I do not substantiate either for or against Ross, just know he cast a big shadow on multiplicity. I (being a we) of course do very much believe in multiplicity. Please contact us or someone else on the News Blog if you would actually like to read much more :)
Always our best,
Ann
