Literary-Psychological blog’s 900 posts on over 100 Writers are Proof that Most Novelists and Many Others have a Normal Version of Multiple Personality.

“Normal Version” means that they have signs and symptoms of multiple personality (usually camouflaged), but function and feel well.

“Multiple Personality” means having multiple, potentially interviewable (without hypnosis or drugs) identities (alternate personalities), each with its own subjective feeling of personhood, its own memory bank, and often its own name, or own version of the person’s name, although some are nameless.

In contrast, people without multiple personality have multiple roles in life, but only one identity (sense of personhood), one memory bank, and are almost never nameless.

“Proof” consists mainly of evidence from the lives and works of over 100 writers in 900 posts. It is explained by these facts and this theory:

1. that many normal children have a natural talent for multiple personality, as indicated by imaginary companions and alternate identities (e.g., when young children insist they are superheroes or princesses),

2. that some of these children have traumatic experiences, and cope with it by developing lifelong multiple personality (mostly the normal version), and

3. that out of this pool of people in the general public who have a normal version of multiple personality come novelists, playwrights, and poets, since multiple personality is an asset integral to their creative process.
