Dissociation: "multiple personality" is an outdated term for what's currently referred to as "dissociative identity disorder." here, a person has 2 or more distinct identities/personality states that recurrently take control of behavior. They can't recall important personal information, and it's not explained by ordinary forgetfulness or drug use. This is "handled" through intensive long-term psychotherapy.
