The Doris Case of Multiple Personality, Vol. 1: A Biography of Five Personalities in Connection With One Body and a Daily Record of a Therapeutic Process Ending in the Restoration of the Primary Membe
Excerpt from The Doris Case of Multiple Personality
There is the celebrated case of Madame B, discussed by Pierre Janet in the Revue Philosophique for March, 1888, and summarized by Mr. Myers in his Human Personality and its Survival of Bodily Death, Vol. I, pp. 322-330. It is also a constant subject for reference in La Automatisme Psycho logique by Pierre Janet. The case was interesting especially for the fact that some remarkable telepathic experiments were performed with this subject, a circumstance which goes far to prove what the vehicle is for the supernormal. But the chief interest for the case here is its illustration of multiple personality without any evidence, superficially at least, of foreign invasion and for that reason has distinct analogies with the Doris Fischer case. It cannot be outlined here. Readers must con sult the references....
