Multiple Personality: An Experimental Investigation Into The Nature Of Human Individuality is a book written by Boris Sidis in 1919. The book explores the concept of multiple personality disorder, a condition in which an individual exhibits two or more distinct personalities or identities, each with its own set of behaviors, thoughts, and emotions. Sidis, a renowned psychologist and philosopher, conducted extensive research on the subject of multiple personality disorder, using case studies and experimental data to support his theories. He believed that the condition was a result of trauma or abuse in childhood, which caused the individual to dissociate from their true identity and create multiple personalities as a coping mechanism. The book also delves into the philosophical implications of multiple personality disorder, questioning the nature of human individuality and the concept of a unified self. Sidis argues that the existence of multiple personalities challenges traditional notions of identity and raises profound questions about the nature of consciousness and the self. Overall, Multiple Personality is a groundbreaking work in the field of psychology and a thought-provoking exploration of the human psyche. It remains a significant contribution to the study of multiple personality disorder and continues to influence contemporary research in the field.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
