Currently, there is a lack of balanced academic material on MPD, with much literature focused on disproving its validity as a psychiatric disorder.

It traces the origins of MPD in published literature and charts its development as a concept over time. The book presents a thorough review of existing data, including clinical descriptions, differentiation from other disorders, family history studies, follow-up studies, and laboratory documentation.
