Multiple personality disorder and borderline personality disorder. Distinct entities or variations on a common theme?

Ann Clin Psychiatry. 1993 Jun;5(2):129-34. doi: 10.3109/10401239309148975.

Abstract

We report data from a comparison of 14 subjects with multiple personality disorder (MPD) and 13 subjects with borderline personality disorder (BPD). There were few significant differences between the groups. The authors discuss the concept of MPD as an epiphenomenon of BPD, and argue their fundamental similarity.
