The authors describe the application of experiential sampling, a new time-sampling method, to the assessment of rapid state changes in a woman with multiple personality disorder. She was signaled at random intervals during study periods and asked to provide information on alternate personality switches, amnesia, and mood state. The alternates displayed some characteristics that were as different as those occurring between separate individuals studied previously with this method. There were notable discrepancies between the self-report study data and information reported during therapy hours. The authors conclude that the phenomenology of multiple personality disorder is frequently more complex than is suspected early in the course of treatment.
作者描述了经验取样法(一种新的时间取样方法)在评估一名患有多重人格障碍的女性快速状态变化中的应用。在研究期间,她会被随机间隔发出信号,并被要求提供有关交替人格转换、失忆和情绪状态的信息。这些交替人格表现出一些特征,其差异程度与之前用这种方法研究的不同个体之间的差异一样大。自我报告研究数据与治疗时段所报告的信息之间存在显著差异。作者得出结论,多重人格障碍的现象学通常比治疗初期所怀疑的更为复杂。
