What is MPD?
MPD is a survival tactic. It is the creative attempt of highly traumatized children to protect themselves from the trauma and abuse (e.g.: “It isn’t happening to me.”) When these children dissociate (block) trauma, their “compartments” of trauma become “separate personalities/parts within their one self”. Only children have sufficient flexibility (and vulnerability) to adapt to trauma by means of creating alter personalities.
