I think you might be referring to what used to be called Multiple Personality Disorder and is now known as Dissociative Identity Disorder.  There are different views as to how rare/common this disorder is but it is in the current Diagnostis and Statistical Manual.  You might start your investigation there.  You might also want to check out this site: http://www.isst-d.org/education/treatmentguidelines-index.htm

 

 

Best wishes.
