Calista, it all depends on what model of dissociation one adheres to. The latest research on dissociative identity disorder (and what the new DSM V is being based on) doesn't ascribe to the theory of there being a 'core' at all. If you want to read more research 'structural dissociation'. The whole thing about a 'core' personality that is protected by other personalities is an idea that was borne out of the 80' and 90's and hasn't been scientifically validated at all. Structural dissociation explains the processes much more comprehensively.
