Jul 10, 2007 |

A therapist is suspected of taking advantage of woman's split personality disorder and had sex with one of her alter egos.
Monika Mirte, 44 year old woman from Germany suffered from multiple personality disorder, feeling most of the time in control. However, sometimes she felt as if she turned into another women, calling them "Kathrin", "Finja" and "Leonie". She says that when one of her another personalities takes over, she cannot remember what happened after she turns back to her previous self.
After she went to the qualified psychotherapist Peter Blaeker, she noticed that something goes wrong with her treatment. Woman insists that Mr. Blaeker used one of her personalities for sexual use, the other one for housework and the third one for lending money for holidays.
The therapist refused to comment, saying that he has no right to reveal confidential information regarding her other personalities. If convicted, he can expect up to 5 years sentence.
The case is under investigation in Cologne, where Blaeker is suspected of sexual assault and fraud. Christine Andrae, Miss Mirte's lawyer claims there are a lot of facts to prove the therapist went beyond his professional duties.
Dr.Christian Luedke, a psychologist, said that it is possible for the other therapist to make use of the other personality for a person who has such disorder by calling the alter ego by name.
