This month's patron poll was neck-and-neck, but the winner was a transcription of the appellate court cases from Multiple Personality And Dissociation, 1791-1992: A Complete Bibliography, Second Edition by Carole Goettman, George B. Greaves, and Philip M. Coons, published by The Sidran Press in 1994. I'm working on transcribing the rest of the book, correcting the OCR errors (and the book's innate typos) along the way.

( Content warning for every horrible possible thing you can imagine someone going to court over, including suicide, rape, torture of children, gruesome serial murder, cult leading, and mail theft. )

Mori: Hey nerds, have you ever read a multi book and gone, "Well, sure, this is all nice... but what I REALLY want are the citations"? Then I got a present for you: Multiple Personality and Dissociation, 1791-1992: A Complete Bibliography by Goettman, Greaves, and Coons. (Sorry, not screenreadable.)

This book is impossible to buy, even at ludicrous prices. It just seems to be completely out of circulation. But the BPL has a copy buried in their archival center! I had to reserve it a week in advance just to touch the damn thing, and I wasn't allowed to take it out of the library, and the book scanner was busted, but for the sake of fucking posterity (and out of spite) we scanned every single page into the copy machine, then trucked down to reserve the Business Library's computer to use Adobe Acrobat and turn all those pages into a PDF and hey presto! 150+ pages of PURE UNADULTERATED MULTI CITATIONS. YOU'RE FUCKIN WELCOME.

Sections of the table of Contents are: Multiple Personality, Dissociation and Amnesia, Depersonalization and Derealization, Fugue States, and Medico-Legal (subheadings: Articles and Books; Precis of Appellate Court Cases). There's only so gonzo a citation can be, but some of those court cases are... they're really something. A bunch are, "person commits (sometimes truly heinous) crime, blames Evil Alter Edna," there are a few Memory Wars cases over abuse accusations... and then there are the MEMORABLE ones. For example...

( Some of the weirdest cases we saw. Content warnings for violence (including against children), murder, suicide, and sexual abuse, including of multiples by clinicians. Also an '80s cultiple case with someone claiming to be the ex-wife (and channeller?) of Billy Joel. )

healthymultiplicity.com is having technological difficulties, thus why the link is on Google Drive. We're working on it. Feel free to rehost and spread.

EDIT: Now on hm.com and kindly OCRed by Orion Scribner, meaning it is searchable and screenreadable!
