    If some1 with multiple personalities threatens to kill themselves should the police treat it as a hostage situation?

    You never negotiate with hostage takers, shoot him/her/them/whatever...


    As Darth said, they'll prevent the actual suicide and place the person in therapy...

    The individual can only experience one personality at a time so logically if one of his multiple personalities didn't want to die then when it was the benevolent personality's "turn" then he would spirit his body away from danger and turn himself into the police.

    There was a case a bit like this on Ally McBeal where a woman suffering from multiple personality disorder wanted to stop taking her medication, but when she stopped here "real" personality wasn't strong enough to survive her "second" personality. But the second personlaity didn't want to be wiped out by the medication so took it to court.

    fine, in that case, the hostage personality might have been taking self defense classes, they'll spin round and kick the hostage taker in the balls, but they'll see it coming and block and then shoot/stab their hostage, the police should get confused and/or bored at this point and then just shoot him/her - the moral of the story, don't take hostages and leave yourself out in the open, and be sure to study Samuel L Jackson in The Negotiator
