The problem of personal identity consists in identifying those circumstances that comprise necessary and sufficient conditions for the continuity of the same self over time, such as spatio‑temporal continuity, continuity of long‑term memory traces, etc. As Apter (1991) puts it, the special problem attached to personal identity and multiple personality is the “Question of Who… Is a multiple personality the same person over time?”
