Sigmund Freud and Carl G. Jung: Are psychiatrists and psychologists who choose to train in psychoanalysis more likely to have multiple personality trait?

Most psychiatrists (1) and psychologists (2) are not psychoanalysts. Psychoanalysis is a separate course of study (3). I am a psychiatrist, but not a psychoanalyst.

Freud and Jung were psychiatrists who founded schools of psychoanalysis. I have discussed each of them in past posts as having multiple personality trait. (Search “Freud” and “Jung.”)

Critics of psychoanalysis might say that there is a lot of overlap between psychoanalysis and fiction writing. Freudian and Jungian psychoanalysts might say that if they are like Freud or Jung, they are proud of it.
