Abstrak Teori Psikoanalisis Freud bukan saja digunakan untuk terapi pada manusia, akan tetapi sering juga digunakan untuk menelaah karya sastra yang memuat masalah-masalah psikologis tokoh yang ada di dalam karya sastra. Sigmund Freud dikenal dengan teorinya mengenai lapisan kesadaran, dan ia sendiri mengujicobakan teorinya mengenai lapisan kesadaran ini ke dalam karya sastra. Tujuan penulisan ini adalah untuk menelaah tokoh yang mengalami penyimpangan secara kejiwaan dalam novel karya Mira W. yang berjudul Deviasi dengan menggunakan teori dan pendekatan psikoanalisis Freud dalam karya sastra. Hasil analisis memperlihatkan bahwa tokoh utama dalam novel ini mengalami masalah kejiwaan berat sehingga menderita Dissociative Identity Disorder(DID) atau Multiple Personality Disorder, yakni suatu kelainan kejiwaan yang mengakibatkan seseorang memiliki kepribadian ganda. Kelainan kejiwaan ini tidak muncul begitu saja, akan tetapi ada sebuah penyebab yang berasal dari masa kanak-kanak dan butuh rentangan waktu yang panjang untuk memperlihatkan bahwa seseorang telah menyimpang secara kejiwaan, atau tidak norma Abstract Freud’s Psychoanalytic Theory is not only used for therapy in humans, but often also used to examine literary works that contain psychological problems of characters inside literary works. Sigmund Freud was known for his theory of the layer of consciousness, and he tested his theory into literary work. The purpose of this paper is to examine the characters who experience psychiatric disorder in Mira W's novel entitled Deviasi using Freud's psychoanalytic theory and approach in literary works. The results of the analysis show that the main character in this novel suffered severe psychiatric problems and he had suffered of Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) or  Multiple Personality Disorder, a psychiatric disorder that results in a person having multiple personalities. This psychiatric disorder does not appear just in sudden, but there is a cause that originates from childhood and requires a long stretch of time to show that someone has psychological disorder or abnormally deviated.

The article analyzes cases of multiple personality disorder (dissociative identity disorder) and their reflection in fiction. The purpose of the article is to classify various situations and identify the causes and prerequisites for this phenomenon. The process of splitting consciousness is accompanied by certain changes in the individual’s speech. This concerns the choice of words and grammatical forms (especially forms of the person’s category). The collected material (texts of novellas, short stories, poems, and screenplays) gives grounds for some conclusions. The main prerequisites for dissociative identity disorder are the versatility of the personality, the ability to look at it “from the inside” and “from the outside,” as well as the individual’s tendency to constantly evaluate his thoughts and actions. Past violence, severe stress, internal discomfort, etc. can act as a cause (“triggering mechanism”) of the phenomenon under study. The author shows cases of endoscopic and exoscopic disintegration of identity using literary facts. In the latter case, there is a connection with the Freudian concept of the “Ideal I”, which includes an observer. The topic of doubles, which is immensely popular in art, and the relationship between the author of a literary work and his pseudonym are also touched upon.

Abstract Introduction: Dissociative identity disorder, also known as multiple personality disorder, involves simultaneous manifestation of multiple alternative personalities in one human body. The disorder is still a puzzle to contemporary researchers. In comparison to the United States, where the detection rate of this disorder is growing, in Poland, it is still a niche issue, unknown to many scientists and clinicians. Rather alarmingly, this situation has remained the same for many years now. Objective: The aim of the present study is to draw attention to the adaptive character of dissociative identity disorder as a defense mechanism in children who have experienced extremely traumatic events in early childhood. The work also sets itself the task of disseminating knowledge about multiple personality disorder in the Polish scientific community, with the hope of encouraging wider research in this area in Poland. Material and Methods: To investigate this issue, we searched articles available in the PubMed, Google Scholar, and Polish Medical Bibliography (Polska Bibliografia Lekarska) databases for the years 1960–2018. The following search terms were used: multiple personality, dissociative identity disorder, dissociative identity disorder and children. On the basis of a meta-analysis of the available literature, we offer a general characterization of the disorder, describe its symptomatology, present several theories of its etiology and conclude it through the prism of its adaptive function. Results and Discussion: From the analysis of the gather data, we can conclude that multiple personality disorder can be a broad variant of the child's defense mechanisms against extreme, traumatic events from childhood, which they try to cope with by creating alter personalities. Abused children create other representations of the Self to be able to rid themselves of suffering, a process that is necessary for them to survive and further develop mentally and physically. Conclusions: There is no doubt that Polish research on this disorder is much needed. It could provide more information on the epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of multiple personality. In addition, a better understanding of the issue might bring us closer to the understanding of how the human mind works.

All diagnoses of Multiple Personality Disorder are part of a Dissociative Identity Disorder; they show hurt self-esteem (image) and are self-injurious.

There are people where two or more personalities seem to have independent-and sometimes mutually forgetful-control of the same bodily individual. This chapter gives a brief account of the history of the diagnosis of "Multiple Personality Disorder" or (the more recent label) "Dissociative Identity Disorder", and the conflicting judgment of therapists, lawyers, and philosophers as to whether this is a real syndrome. It is suggested that the diagnosis may be therapeutically helpful for some other disturbances, including anorexia, even if it does not carry the strong metaphysical moral that some have supposed. The cases are of interest to philosophers as they purport to represent "real -life" difficulties for standard theories of "personal identity." The chapter argues that the diagnosis (and its rejection) depend on prior assumptions about such identity, and so don't easily confirm or rebut any available theory, including more ancient theories about demonic possession.
