A Comprehensive Bibliography of Literature Pertaining to Multiple Personality

Abstract

The reported incidence of patients with multiple personalities has increased dramatically during the 1970s. It has become important for therapists and researchers to have available a comprehensive bibliography of the literature pertaining to this increasingly important disorder, especially since much of that literature is in sources that are difficult to locate through typical procedures for literature search. This paper presents a comprehensive bibliography of 350 references relating to multiple personality. The articles, books, and paper presentations included in this bibliography are classified into 11 categories: reviews, general references, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, psychological testing, etiology, case reports, biographical and autobiographical accounts, treatment, experimental investigations, medico-legal aspects, and psychophysiological aspects. References that might be especially useful to the reader new to the multiple personality literature are identified.
