First Person Plural cover

Do people with multiple personalities have more than one self? The first full-length philosophical study of multiple personality disorder, First Person Plural maintains that even the deeply divided multiple personality contains an underlying psychological unity. Braude updates his work in this revised edition to discuss recent empirical and conceptual developments, including the charge that clinicians induce false memories in their patients, and the professional redefinition of "multiple personality disorder" as "dissociative identity disorder."

A valuable addition to the growing body of new philosophical literature on descriptive psychopathology. * The British Journal of Psychiatry *
Illuminating, deftly and clearly written, and richly thought-provoking. . . . It breaks new ground in philosophy. * Journal Of The American Society For Psychical Research *
