Abstract: Dissociative states are associated with both temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and multiple personality disorder (MPD). A group of subjects with TLE are compared on three measures with a group of subjects with MPD, and a group of controls. These measures assess indices of interictal behavioral alterations and a variety of dissociative experiences. A semi-structured interview was used to gather further information on reported experiences. Case materials are presented and special attention is given to data on subjects with dual diagnoses of TLE and MPD. A neuropsychological model is presented to account for the presence of severe dissociative states in temporal lobe epilepsy and multiple personality disorder.
