Gillig, Paulette Marie. "Dissociative Identity Disorder: A Controversial Diagnosis." Psychiatry (Edgmont). Matrix Medical Communications, 2009. Web. 15 Dec. 2016.
What makes this source stand out is that it does not only explain the disorder itself, but also describes its history in detail and mentions the first diagnosis officially being made official in 1988. Another section goes into detail about alternate personalities in a multiple personality patient, also known as "Alters".
Understanding how this concept works is very important in order to understand how the "switch" between personalities work. This article is very reliable, it has 43 sources integrated into its writing and upon further examination the majority of these are academic, peer reviewed journal articles.
