Explorations in Possession and Multiple Personality. by Adam Crabtree. reprint. Toronto, Somerville House, 1989. with an introduction by Colin Wilson (who should've known better).
Crabtree starts with a discussion of Mesmer & leads into various methods of trance-induction with an eye toward allowing (read "coaxing") multiple personæ to emerge (read "be constructed"), visiting various case histories along the way.
one of the things that's initially bothersome about this thing is in the way it's built, Crabtree considering himself something of a rebel in terms of his psychoanalytical praxis. as such, he is not bound by standard methods of presenting case histories, the immediate result of which is relatively consistent self-interruption on the part of the reader wondering "but wait a minute, what about ...?", rendering them kinda inert. what we get is pretty much a series of baldly exhibitionistic selves-at-war-with-selves in various guises, all of which are encouraged by Crabtree's procedure, which is, as he put it, to approach these fantasias "as though they were true". without even a hint of skepticism, his very approach encourages embroidery on the part of the truly confused & fucktup people he deals with & the poorly constructed case histories allow for no sense of development, insight or even basic understanding.
he's at his worst in the "studies" of cases of "possession". all the way along, he suspends his own (semiïmplied) disbelief &, when critical hinges need to be examined, he simply dodges the responsibility of doing so: "it's not for me to say" (whether or not demons exist, for example).
nowhere in here does he address the issue of the fact that most of the descriptions of dreams & whatnot that arise during the case histories are so suffused with trope infections prototypical of "the mad" as to cast doubt on the entire "genre" of "outsider narrative". it'd've been interesting, for instance, to learn the results of what might've been the response had he, instead of urging on his "clients" to further expansivity, countered with "why izzit you fucking neurotic nutbars always come up with the same tiredly transparent imagery? can't you come up with anything i've not already heard endless variations of?". (time to add another "self" to the scrimmage...)
well, no, we can't further disturb the already disturbed, a whole 'nother set of double-standards needing to be applied to the "special people's club" &, on the one hand, yeahsure, let's not egg anyone on into some kind of personal disaster but, on the other, get a fucking grip & relax! it's the across-the-board kowtowing to the hypersensitivity of "special interest groups" that has led to such extremes of absurdity as some popstar's recent censure for insisting that it's not just single special interest groups that "matter" but that (i believe the phrase that was found to be so offensive was) "all lives matter".
Crabtree takes this to a further level of absurdity by insisting that "all supplementary lives [are] matter". this is the only "position" he can be said to take throughout the proceedings – a dubious waffle at best.
according to Crabtree (& Wilson), there've not been many volumes published that broadly examine notions of multiple minds in single brains & this tome is a "significant contribution to the literature". if this is true, it's a pretty sad indictment of what all might've preceded it.
Introduced in 1957, the 20 103 two-car diesel multiple-units were amongst the earliest first generation DMUs. Although commonly described as Park Royal sets, they were ordered from British United Transport and built at the Crossley Motor Works in Stockport.
Being non-standard in relation to later types and suffering severe body corrosion, they were early candidates for withdrawal by the early 1980s. Several were preserved but a number of these have since fallen by the wayside; others entered departmental service. RDB 975089/90 (the former 503096/162) were used by the Railway Technical Centre at Derby as its Laboratory No 5 (sometimes as hauled stock) until scrapped in 1991. This digital representation is based on one of the preserved sets that was initially preserved at the West Somerset Railway (07-Sep-24).

Ran into a guy on the Marietta Square today who told me that his New Year’s resolution was to “take care of number one,” as he pointed to himself. I replied that I had multiple personalities and would not know which one to choose. He just shook his head and walked away from me … and my other personalities.

Since beginning classes in August, 80 first year medical students at the Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine have been training as emergency medical technicians, working shifts on North Shore-LIJ ambulances and responding to 911 calls. Their training culminated recently in a Multiple Casualty Incident (MCI) conducted at the FDNY Training Center at Randall’s Island. Students were expected to provide emergency care during several different emergency exercises, which were all followed by full debriefing.
The MCI day was coordinated by the Fire Department of the City of New York at the department’s Training Academy on Randall’s Island, where more than 2,000 fire fighters and EMS personnel are trained each year.
