Synopsis
Alterations of Personality offers a clear, accessible look at how the sense of self can change within a single person. This classic work presents early, influential ideas on multiple personalities, subconscious action, and the science behind human memory and selfhood in plain language for general readers.
Framed by editor and author notes, the book surveys a wide range of phenomena—from spontaneous somnambulism to experimentally induced states—grounding discussion in careful observation and reported cases. It traces how normal memory and character can diverge, and how suggestion, habit, and attention shape what a person experiences as selfhood.
What you’ll experience
- A thorough introduction to the phenomena of altered personality and the methods used to study them.
- Explanations of how subconscious processes interact with conscious life and memory.
- Illustrative discussion of experiments and observations that illuminate the dynamics of will, habit, and suggestion.
- A historically important view of early psychology that influenced later research in hypnosis, perception, and identity.
Ideal for readers of psychology, brain science, and the history of ideas who want a foundational, non‑fiction look at how personality can vary within one life.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into alterations of personality, focusing on cases of spontaneous somnambulism, where an individual exhibits two or more distinct personalities alternating without being confused, each with its own memories, intellect, and disposition. These cases, often diagnosed as hysteria, provide evidence of a profound division within the self. The author examines the historical and scientific context of somnambulism and sheds light on the complex psychological mechanisms at play. The book discusses the emergence of alternate personalities in response to emotional or physical trauma and analyzes the relationship between normal and abnormal states of consciousness. By exploring the depths of the fragmented mind, this book enhances our understanding of the complexities of human personality and challenges conventional notions of selfhood. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
