I have a question if anyone can help. I am confused. I have a friend, her therapist says she has a persona as opposed to a dual or multiple personality. I have spoken with both (my friend and her alter/persona) and it seems to me, the alter is a separate personality. Yet, I am told there is a difference. And the alter is merely a persona and not another personality. And therefore does not have DID/MPD. Can anyone help clarify this for me please?
