Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), is also commonly referred to as multiple personality disorder. It is a very complex disorder characterized by the coexistence of multiple separate identities (Kluft, 1996). DID commonly develops after the occurrence of some form of trauma in childhood. However, as a person with DID grows older, the multiple personalities may grow more complex, as the individual affected may combine posttraumatic events with fantasy to create more intricate personalities (Kluft, 1996). | Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), is also commonly referred to as multiple personality disorder.
