Multiple Personality Disorder - A Case Report From Northern India
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) has been reported sparsely from the Indian subcontinent. The index case is presented for highlighting its atypical features, which possibly has a determining role in its course and prognosis. These atypical features included the uncommon stress, longer duration of alter state (than host state), and the absence of history of physical and sexual trauma. The case also signifies the utility of short-term behaviour therapy in place of complicated and long-drawn psychotherapies (German J Psychiatry 2005;8:98-100).
