Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) or Dissociative Identity
             Disorder (DID) was first acknowledged in the 1700's but was
             not understood so therefore it was forgotten. Many cases
             show up in medical records through the years, but in 1905,
             Dr. Morton Prince wrote a book about MPD that is a
             foundation for the disease. A few years after it was
             published Sigmund Freud dismissed the affliction and this
             dropped it from being discussed at any credible mental

             p.17-19) MPD is commonly found in adults who were
             recurrently abused mentally, physically, emotionally, and/or
             sexually as young children, between birth to 8 years of age.
             The child uses a process called dissociation to remove
             him/herself from the abusive situation. Dissociation is when
             a child makes up an imaginary personality to take control of
             the mind and body while the child is being abused. The child
