^ It isn't a multiple personality, though. He was amnesiac, but retained the basic traits of his personality in spite of lacking the memories that formed some of those behaviors. Haise and Kaneki are the same person, not separate and distinct personalities that existed apart from one another. Haise didn't "die" or get reabsorbed by Kaneki or anything. He simply regained his memories, and his shift in personality was merely the result of that added experience.

If it were a separate personality, Kaneki wouldn't still think of himself as Haise. He does, and treats that time in his life as completely his own and not the life of some other personality.

Kaneki has issues, but acknowledges the "voices" and "personalities" in his head as parts of himself. The "Kaneki" that plagued him was his repressed memories, just like "Rize" gave voice to his negative thoughts and "Hide" provided insight into his own desire to live.
