    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Psychology
    • Clinical Psychology

    Background:

    • The classification of multiple personality disorder (MPD) remains debated.
    • Distinguishing MPD from hysterical disorders requires nuanced understanding.
    • Borderline personality disorder (BPD) shares certain features with MPD.

    Observation:

    • Splitting, a defense mechanism, is examined in both MPD and BPD.
    • Object-relations formation processes are analyzed in relation to MPD and BPD.
    • Symptomatology of MPD and BPD is compared to identify overlaps and distinctions.

    Findings:

    • MPD is proposed to be a manifestation of borderline personality disorder, not hysteria.
    • Key differentiating factors include specific patterns of splitting and object relations.
    • Symptomatic profiles suggest a closer alignment with BPD criteria.

    Implications:

    • Treatment for MPD should adopt strategies effective for BPD.
    • Emphasis on limit setting, confrontation, and managing negative transference is crucial.
    • A case history illustrates the proposed theoretical framework and treatment approach.
