I have read Anna O a few times, and I do not remember her described as a MPD.
She did change quickly from a caring, sensitive person to someone who would
verbally abuse others. She was also decribed as having "absences" by Breuer,
but these were states more akin to hypnotic trances. I do not recall anything
about separate personalities however.
