Hi. I have to do research on Multiple Personality Dissorder. I was wondering if you had a good idea for an hypothesis I could use. What should I try to prove in my essay? And also, is there any point I should stress about Multiple Personality?

Thanks alot!

dear diefenbaker first of all good luck in your coming thesis. second,i think there is alot of ideas regarding multiplt personality disorder,like there relation with brain electrical activity in EEG, or their relation to findings on pet or spect studies or mri. also you can scale depression or other personality inventory in them. also the relation retrospectively to child abuse and child trauma,u can also use a scale for that also you can see family history of any psychiatric manifestation or even the other personality traits. or you can do it as a family study instead if you want. also their relation to substance abuse (with the whole spectrum),alcohol abuse as a way to open the gate for their dissociation. or u can study causes of their dissociation and which stressors can trigger their dissociative episodes. also sleep study in relation to them is very significant as another source of dissociation. comorbidity with other psychiatric illness is also another idea. suicide and psychosis in multiple pers. is another ideas there is a whole lot of ideas other u can track from the literature and pursue according to your own interest and preference. i hope i gave u some help,please feel free to contact if you have any inquiry. hnour
