Pat McClendon: A lot of articles about multiple personality and criminal responsibility may
be found on Pat McClendon's Clinical Social Work
Database.
Jennifer Radden: Am I My Alter's Keeper? When multiples commit crimes, who is responsible? Is it really possible for one person in the group to commit crimes while the others remain completely unaware? Does multiple personality ever occur in the absence of mental illness or problems such as depression? Note: Like most of the articles in this section, this is real MPD-as-illness stuff, with the idea that anyone who is multiple has "something wrong and dysfunctional" about them no matter how well the group gets on.
The Sarah Trial Our coverage of the case of the
Minnesota collective who brought statutory rape charges against Mark Peterson
in 1990.
