“ALL OF ME” (a memoir of Multiple Personality Disorder) by Kim Noble
Comment: At that time, mental health professionals had recognized her “dissociation” (memory gaps), which made her disorganized, but they had not distinguished between her kind of disorganization and the kind seen in a real psychosis like schizophrenia. So neither she nor most of her therapists had discovered her many nonpsychotic, undiagnosed, alternate personalities. But eventually they did make the correct diagnosis (a.k.a. dissociative identity disorder).
