I wouldn't think so. I checked out a book at the local library on multiple personality disorder. I have not read it yet. The title is A Fractured Mind. Author Robert B. Oxnam. You might check ebay or your local library. I think it will be an interesting read and knowledgeable. It is a biography.

No, because of fact the hostage is likewise the culprit in actual physique, it does not be seen a hostage situation as much because it would be seen suicide, even although the personalities variety. inspect it this way, the guy killing himself is committing suicide. it extremely is the only character which could do it. If yet another character intervenes, then the suicide won't take place. What happens to different personalities whilst they don't look to be those on top of issues? as far as us sane people be attentive to, they exist interior the sub-experience of right and incorrect of the suggestions, besides the undeniable fact that it somewhat is unlike all of us be attentive to they have guy or woman souls. If that have been the case, the character that intervened could have the actual physique arrested for numerous debts of tried homicide, which will not take place. Why does not it take place? ordinary, as quickly as you identify that the incredibly some tries have been all placed interior an analogous physique, the courts might verify you to be mentally incompetent and function you place away as unfavourable to a real hostage situation the place the culprit might flow on trial. final factor, the common negotiator in a hostage situation may be a regulation expert, yet for distinctive character ailment, they might choose the healthcare expert that frequently treats the guy to be the negotiator as they may be attentive to a thank you to call up the different personalities (or so we'd desire).

I would say that there are 2 answers to that question.
Firstly, if the dominate personality takes over and decides that he/she is going to kill himself/herself in a person suffering from M.P.D., then the more passive personalities may definitely feel as though they are being held hostage.
Just imagine how it would feel if a fellow student/co-worker decided that he/she wanted to end it all and was wearing a bomb. Not only are they going to end their own life, they'd be ending everyone's life that is in the general vicinity. In that case, I'd definitely feel like a hostage.
Secondly I'd say that this isn't a hostage situation. This person, while suffering from a legitimate, documented disease, has suffered a severe psychotic break and needs medical attention as soon as conceivably possible.

No. It is considered a mental health crisis just when any other person would make the same threat. Notify the authorities or call 911 immediately. You have to take all threats of this nature seriously.

actually, there is only one physical body. thus it is suicide.
it may be considered hostage situation if 2 persons with multiple personality disorder are having this conversation. :)
