The article is considering three distinctive approaches to the nature and validity of Dissociative Identity Disorder. Namely: skeptics, psychotherapists and those, who deem DID to be “normal” state of mind. The article also is pressing an issue of DID as an ontological state unlike psychotherapist’s consideration of it as a medical condition. The article is providing criteria for interpretation of DID as a stable state of mind as well as for distinguishing it from (other) abalienations.
