ABSTRACT
IN all those states of disintegration of personality that we have considered in the last three chapters there is a division or doubling of the self. Normally we know all our thoughts, our feelings, and our actions as cohering together in our one personal consciousness, but in cases of multiple personality the self may become divided or constricted, and the stream of consciousness may become discontinuous, or doubled, or multiplied. The unity of the self is broken, the parts may function alternately or concomitantly, and one part may not know the other.
