of Multiple Personality
Here are many newspaper and magazine accounts describing multiple personality. These are the items we collected in our search for information after realizing that "multiple personalities" described our lifelong experience of many selves sharing a body.

The Dissociation & Trauma Archives of the University of Oregon Here are many case studies by psychiatrists and medical doctors, going all the way back to Thomas Mayo's A Case of Double Consciousness which took place in 1831.
