    The answers to these questions require a clarification of several points: First, MPD is a misleading term-- DISSOCIATED SELF DISORDER would probably be better. There is but one self that is dissociated into multiple parts. MPD tends to be misunderstood to mean "multiple self disorder."
    MPD is a survival tactic. It is the creative attempt of highly traumatized children to protect themselves from the trauma and abuse (e.g.: "It isn't happening to me.") When these children dissociate (block) trauma, their "compartments" of trauma become "separate personalities/parts within their one self".
    MPD arises in childhood, mostly ages 3 to 9 years. There is juvenile diabetes and adult onset diabetes, but there is no adult onset MPD. Only children have sufficient flexibility (and vulnerability) to respond to trauma by breaking their "still-coalescing" self into different, dissociated parts.
