Dissociative Identity Disorder, Multiple Personality Disorder.
WHO GETS DISSOCIATIVE DISORDERS?
The vast majority (as many as 98 to 99%) of individuals who develop
Dissociative Disorders have documented histories of repetitive, overwhelming,
and often life-threatening trauma at a sensitive developmental stage
of childhood (usually before the age of nine), and they may possess
an inherited biological predisposition for dissociation. In our culture
the most frequent precursor to Dissociative Disorders is extreme physical,
emotional, and sexual abuse in childhood, but survivors of other kinds
of trauma in childhood (such as natural disasters, invasive medical
procedures, war, kidnapping, and torture) have also reacted by developing
Dissociative Disorders. Read

About the Fear of Flying - The Psychology of Fear
Fear is like a self-replicating computer virus. It needs only to start
for it to develop a momentum of its own. It is difficult for anyone
suffering from a fear to examine it objectively because the very process
of examining it will change it, and in all probability change it for
the worse. Our fears control many of our conscious and unconscious thoughts
and a fear will gather information to support itself, while at the same
time prevent us from collecting information to dislodge or deny it.
