Multiple Identity Theory—the idea that 90% of novelists and 30% of the public have a normal version of multiple personality—is doubted for four reasons.

This blog, which is about Multiple Identity Literary Theory—or, more generally, Multiple Identity Theory—has been visited by thousands of people from more than fifty countries, but few of them take it seriously. I can think of four reasons:

First, it is hard to believe that multiple personality even exists if you, yourself, have never, at least knowingly, seen it. I, myself, a psychiatrist, was very skeptical before making the diagnosis and seeing it with my own eyes.

Second, most people don’t know what undiagnosed multiple personality normally looks like, with its alternate personalities hidden inside the person and/or coming out in private and/or coming out in public, but incognito.

Third, most of the evidence discussed in this blog is literary, but I don’t have a literary degree, and my views are not published in either regular book form or literary journals.

Fourth, Multiple Identity Theory would mean a change in everyone’s view of human nature, a change that just seems too big to not have been known about previously (at least in these terms).

If you would like to comment on the above reasons or add more, please do.
