Is it actually possible to deliberately induce multiple personalities in an adult? Somehow I doubt it.

According to B & G in "Frogs into Princes" they suspect MPD structures are always created by someone else. This is usually an adult as far as I can tell.
I've never been sure how that could happen, but the main person with MPD I knew only 'discovered' they had multiple personalities when they got together with a very charismatic and controlling partner, I never worked out how it could have happened, but based on B & G's hypothesis, I remain suspicious about what was really going on between them.
I offered to work with the lady in question on reintegrating, but she was quite happy with the state of affairs - MPD had ironically become her 'identity'!!

And indeed that charismatic partner is nearly always a therapist....

I refer you to this thread on another forum: Handbook of Hypnotic Suggestion & Metaphor - alt.hypnosis | Google Groups#

And:

Handbook of Hypnotic Suggestion & Metaphor - alt.hypnosis | Google Groups

In my post on those threads i reference useful material for those who may want to read something other than NLP books.

Andrew,

With all due respect, when you speak of "Satanic panic" and MPD you really don't know what you're talking about. Because you just don't know what you don't know.

Oh OK, thanks for letting me know.

Venus,
With all due respect, how do you know that you know that Andrew doesn't know?

Hi Nigel,

Have you ever seen Venus and Andrew together at the same time? Or even pictured together at the same event? No? Hmmm...

Think about the subject under discussion here and I think you'll discover there might just be something else going on...

Be Well,

Oh no!

It's that Michael and Latoyah Jackson thing all over.

I am Venus's "alter".......

Actually, now I come to think of it. Michael, what is that you don't know that you didn't do?

Any gaps in your memory at all... hmmmmm?

It's them pesky aliens abducting people again, I tell you!

Hi Andy,

Nah, after the aliens pop 'round I always know because they never use enough 'lube with the probes and I walk funny for a week.

Now on the other hand it might be those damn angels again. I'll have to leave out some traps. Or get a cat.

Be Well,

I was delighted a few years ago to find myself featured on a conspiracy site. I was apparently the head of a "gang stalking" cabal. I'd never heard of the term before and did a google search. It's quite remarkable, and the videos regarding gang stalking on youtube are well worth checking out.

Being the head of a conspiracy was great fun, even if i knew nothing about it. So I put this up to confuse the masses further: 23

I'll try and find the original page that featured me and post here, it makes for interesting reading.... I...felt...like....they....must....be watching.... ME!

On a more serious note, Andrew's posts from alt.hypnosis addressed the (originally) Freudian notion of unconscious repression of memories which he theorised would lead to unexpected behaviours popping up, seemingly out of nowhere.

And along those lines, I was reading an interesting paper on the Freudian idea of symptom substitution, including the notion that if you fix a behaviour without uncovering and dealing with the repressed or suppressed 'root cause', it would pop up as another behaviour. Essentially, the author, after looking at decades of case studies and statistics from behavioural modification therapies (like CBT, for example) and traditional psychotherapy, posits the notion that although the idea of symptom substitution sounds good, it doesn't tend to be borne out in real life unless, it seems, on expects it to be there and then it is...

Interestingly, B&G seem to have both acknowledged and decried these notions sequentially.

Any thoughts/and or ideas on the validity of these notions in your own experiences?

Be Well,

Michael Perez

Michael, I would think that the root cause of everything we ever do is to stay alive and procreate (genetically and/or memetically). Of course, psychologists tend to like to chunk a bit differently than I do...

-Turil

Hi Turil,

I tend to agree, as you say, in a very large chunk way!

Be Well,

Michael Perez

Which would mean that pretty much every time you do something different, it's a substitution. In which case, the psychologists are right. :-)

That makes sense. I ride a bicycle, I really wanted to eat or have sex, so the bicycle is the vagina or a hamburger, or both. I get it!

Be Well,

Michael Perez
