Is Borderline personality disorder and Multiple personality disorder the same?
No. Personality disorders are those disorders which severely and negatively affect relating to other people - such as attatchment disorders or behavior disorders. The person with one of these disorders can harm, directly or indirectly, those around them. They come in three subtypes: Odd or eccentric behavior [schizoid, paranoid, schizotypal] Dramatic, emotional, or erratic behavior [antisocial, borderline, narcissistic] Anxious fearful behavior. [Avoidant, dependent, obsessive-compulsive]. Almost everyone has a few negative traits that fall under one or more personality disorder categories - fear of criticism, fear of rejection, fear of looking foolish, daydreaming over action, isolation, chronic boredom, or excessive dependency, etc. It is when severe negative traits of the same type cluster together that a personality disorder is diagnosed. Multiple Personality Disorder, more properly known as Dissociative Identity Disorder, is a diagnosis handed out due to the following criteria: 1) At least two dissociative and lasting personality states must alternatily control a persons behavior 2) Impairment of the ability to recall personal information, or other memory lossy loss must occur which cannot be accounted for by ordinary forgetfulness. [According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders] These criteria are very important, as it seperates Multiplicity in general from dissociative identity disorder. Dissociation is "loss of sense of self". For a disorder to exist, something must be going wrong with the natural functioning of the body. With natural multiplicity, the members of a [healthy] system are their own unique selves. Even if one member takes primary control of the body for a time, the other[s] do not lose their sense of self. Even if the members were to share control, they do not melt into each other, feel like one has suddenly become a different person, or feel like another person's thoughts are his own. Furthermore, most multiple systems do not meet the amnesia or loss of time criteria of the DSM manual. The dissociative identity disorder criteria hits at this crucial distinguishing point. There are those people who suffer from dissociative fugues [periods of temporary amnesia about themselves, wherein they often form new personalities in the interim until their memory returns], and depersonalization disorder/derealization [loss of self, feeling disconnected, not feeling in control of one's speech or movements, feeling detatched from one's thoughts or emotions, feeling like a robot, etc]. Both multiples and non-multiples may suffer from dissociative identity disorder. As with personality disorders, the criteria of Dissociative Identity Disorder also requires a significant impairment of mental and social functioning. In this area, they are similar.
How do you people with Multiple Personality disorder act?
According to WebMD, "people with dissociative disorders may experience any of the following symptoms:"depressionmood swingssuicidal tendenciessleep disorders such as insomnia, night terrors and sleep walkinganxiety, panic attacks and phobiasalcohol and drug abusecompulsions and ritualspsychotic-like symptoms, such as auditory and visual hallucinationseating disordersheadacheamnesiatime losstrances"out of body experiences"A person with multiple personalities used to be diagnosed as being schizophrenic. However, they changed the name of the diagnosis to Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) since there are some schizophrenics who actually do not have split personalities. DID is basically when the person becomes fragmented and their personalities become separate entities, fighting for control over one another. When another personality takes over, it is said that some describe it as "being a passenger in their body rather than the driver. In other words, they truly believe they have no choice." Hope this information helps. :)

Which of the following perspectives claims that shaping may play a big role in the development of some cases of dissociative identity disorder?
behavioral perspective
Are schizoid and schizophrenia the same?
No. In fact, multiple personality disorder is not what the disorder is called. Dissociative identity disorder is what most people call multiple personality disorder. It is a dissociative disorder characterized by the presence of two or more distinct patterns of behavior. There is actually little interference with the social, occupational, and education aspect of a person's life. Schizophrenia is a psychosis characterized by two or more of the following: delusions, hallucinations, disorders of thought, grossly disorganized or catatonic behavior, and negative symptoms. It interferes extremely with social, occupational, and educational aspects of one's life.

What is the difference between NPD and other personality disorders?
The classification of Axis II personality disorders -- deeply ingrained, maladaptive, lifelong behavior patterns -- in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, fourth edition, text revision [American Psychiatric Association. DSM-IV-TR, Washington, 2000] -- or the DSM-IV-TR for short -- has come under sustained and serious criticism from its inception in 1952. The DSM IV-TR adopts a categorical approach, postulating that personality disorders are "qualitatively distinct clinical syndromes" (p. 689). This is widely doubted. Even the distinction made between "normal" and "disordered" personalities is increasingly being rejected. The "diagnostic thresholds" between normal and abnormal are either absent or weakly supported. The polythetic form of the DSM's Diagnostic Criteria -- only a subset of the criteria is adequate grounds for a diagnosis -- generates unacceptable diagnostic heterogeneity. In other words, people diagnosed with the same personality disorder may share only one criterion or none. The DSM fails to clarify the exact relationship between Axis II and Axis I disorders and the way chronic childhood and developmental problems interact with personality disorders. The differential diagnoses are vague and the personality disorders are insufficiently demarcated. The result is excessive co-morbidity (multiple Axis II diagnoses). The DSM contains little discussion of what distinguishes normal character (personality), personality traits, or personality style (Millon) -- from personality disorders. A dearth of documented clinical experience regarding both the disorders themselves and the utility of various treatment modalities. Numerous personality disorders are "not otherwise specified" -- a catchall, basket "category". Cultural bias is evident in certain disorders (such as the Antisocial and the Schizotypal). The emergence of dimensional alternatives to the categorical approach is acknowledged in the DSM-IV-TR itself: "An alternative to the categorical approach is the dimensional perspective that Personality Disorders represent maladaptive variants of personality traits that merge imperceptibly into normality and into one another" (p.689) The following issues -- long neglected in the DSM -- are likely to be tackled in future editions as well as in current research: The longitudinal course of the disorder(s) and their temporal stability from early childhood onwards; The genetic and biological underpinnings of personality disorder(s); The development of personality psychopathology during childhood and its emergence in adolescence; The interactions between physical health and disease and personality disorders; The effectiveness of various treatments -- talk therapies as well as psychopharmacology. To answer your question, it depends on the personality disorder. NPD, or Narcissistic Personality Disorder, is part of a group of personality disorders, called "Cluster B". The others in the group are Borderline Personality Disorder, Histrionic Personality Disorder, and Antisocial Personality Disorder, which is sometimes also referred to as Sociopathy, or Psychopathy (I, personally, think they are all distinctly different in many ways). NPD, as well as the other PDs in the group, co-mingle frequently, so you will see remnants of each personality structure present in all of them. For example, my ex-husband is a Narcissist, but he also has Borderline and Antisocial/Psychopathic tendencies, as does my father (lucky me!) I also have a sister who is more Borderline, but is very self-centered (Narcissism), and is also drug dependent. Thank God I'm doing as well as I am - it's from studying psychology that I learned so much about the dynamics of personality structure, so I could apply this knowledge to figuring out my crazy family! It also helped me to figure out my own inner dynamics. Anyway, I hope this answers your question. In my opinion, all personality disorders have narcissism as the basic foundation; it's just more prevalent in the Cluster B disorders.
