First understand, that we all have a two part mind (which is not the same as having a two hemisphered brain). We have an Emotional Self, and an Analytical Self. Normal (integrated) people operate with their 99% Analytical Self and 99% Emotional Self in tact, and ready to be used. It can be analogous to two sides of a coin. Heads you are analytical, tails, you are emotional at any given input, neither one is good or bad, both are there it is part of who you are. Just how emotional or analytical you are, depends on the situation, and your goals.
For People with MPD – life-threatening trauma occurs, in such a way, as to cause Emotional Self, to dissociate from Analytical Self. (to put the terms simply) before the child reaches 7 years of age.
True, many folks can suffer from various forms of life threatening trauma before the age of seven. Car accidents, near drowning, but there are more conditions, which must also be present, in order to develop MPD.
The Emotional Self (aka Birth Personality, Original Personality, Host) must be Grade V hypnotizable. Hypnotizability is a characteristic of the emotional side – given at birth.
Another is Polarization of the Parents. This means that while the person who is MPD views one parent as good, while the other bad. What happens often is that parents flip from role to role, but, if parents are together in matters of discipline, MPD most likely will not happen. Usually, one parent is the abuser, while the other screams or deserts. The non-abusive parent does not rescue the child or the damage could have been reversed.
Finally, Polarization of Siblings, MPD children are the “only one being abused”. The MPD Child is seen as different from other children, and therefore somehow “deserving” of the abuse the other children did not get.
So: MPD is brought about by:
- Life Threatening Trauma before the age of 7 yrs old. (minor trauma is not enough child must fear for his/her life)
- Grade V hypnotizable.
- Polarized Parents (one bad, one good)
- Polarized Siblings (only one is abused, others treated decently).

thank you very much. i have appreciated knowing the age 7 as well as the analytical (that i was calling intellectaual) and emotionall divisons therefore validating what i was beginning to pick up all over the internet on the same subject.
well in our family everyone, ie 5 siblings,all became mpd... may be because the parents were not good-bad but bad-bad.
an alcoholic married or is it separated, to a money hungry prostitute.a perfect recipe for chaos and just the right environment for mpd, demon possion, devil worshippers. i wish i was exergerating. my sister runs a cult church, iwas a "anointed" man of god with powers to make peole fall and the other crap is just too much to tell anyone!
but thank you and thanks for internet. free therapy.
for that i really am grateful... and hopeful.my therapy has been long,17 years,mostly through self therapy on internet topics!
but i wd say there has been results. i am not the same borderline saved holy spirit preacher i was 17 years ago.
