I wasn't aiming for an attribution of credit -- only for
a citation of use of the term in the accessible literature.
Certainly I have, over the years, heard at least Isbell and
Lawvere -- and others -- refer to schizophrenic objects,
schizoid objects, objects with "split" -- or "multiple", or
"more than one" -- personality, and the like.
How far back, "over the years"? -- Probably at least to the
early 'seventies, quite possibly earlier.
Cheers, -- Fred
