    • Multiple Personality Disorder

      In the past, people with multiple personality disorders were thought to be possessed with evil spirits, which is why they behave in strange and oddly frightening ways. But as experts were able to study more about the behavior and the hysteria, they were able to understand the nature of a person with MPD.

      This documentary is an exploration into this behavior, with a few key note interviews with patients who were willing to talk about their disorder. Also presented with inputs from psychiatrists, this film touches on the origins and causes, as well as the impact of multiple personality disorder.

      This is a condition exhibited with a person who has different types of personalities, such as the case of a woman filed in the 1920′s who believes that all her personalities are different people. There is also the case of a man who has two other personalities, a woman and a child. The film also presents the story of a college girl who has a different personality who wants to kill her.

      The film offers good insights and a deeper understanding of man’s psychological make-up.

      Fascinating docmunetary. It just goes to show the human instinct for survival is powerful, and the human mind will do what it needs to do to cope.

    • Flowing Flesh

      wow, i was glued to the screen through the whole documentary. This was extremly interesting, and incredibly sad for the people involved

    • Imperien

      I didn't like this documentary…

      … But I thought it was great!

    • Dan

      Ridiculous! I'm sure it's possible this disorder exists but the overly dramatic narration and the host's eagerness to believe this woman was laughable. I only watched 15 minutes and that was enough. It was rather apparent this woman was acting, I'd love to see an update on her.

    • SSS

      This was are really fascinating doco. I thoroughly enjoyed it. My heart goes out to the people suffering from this horrible disorder.

    • Haricots

      If you want a documentary to balance this one you should check out BBC Horizon's "Mistaken Identity" from 1999.
      The premise of that show is that MPD is largely if not completely a disorder created by leading questions etc from the therapists.

      I'm leaning in the direction of the skeptics in this case, it has been shown time and time again what you can convince your patients of if you're not careful. Just look at the recovered memory scandal.

      Barb's story was the most poignant because her behavior affected her husband and children. The other sufferers had already divorced and live by themselves. I wonder how her children turned out.

    • Kate

      With regard to Haricots' comment – yes, it is important to be aware of the fact that memory can be created, but it is also important to acknowledge that memories of real abuse can be repressed and then recovered. I work as a counselor with adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse and I know cases where recovered memories have been confirmed by objective evidence and other people's testimonies. I also know a few survivors who were not believed because they only regained their memories of abuse when they were adults. The "false memory syndrome" can also be a very handy tool in the hands of the abuser(s), who want to discredit the survivor's disclosure. Let's keep in mind that all depends on the individual case and the fact that the memories are recovered, does not automatically mean they are false.

    • Haricots

      Kate, good points.

      I guess I didn't make myself clear, I was referring to recovered memory by techniques such as hypnosis.

      Spontaneously recovered memories are many times more reliable than the therapy recovered memories. They may even be about as accurate as normal continuous memories.

    • APL

      I'm with you, it didn't seem genuine.

    • Cee

      So very sad.

    • arwritergal

      Hilarious Imperion! Not the film or those poor people's agony. But, the reply was perfect!

    • ChieftestofSinners

      Her aggressive personality is named Enigma? Interesting how she claims to have formed a personality as a child with a name she could not possibly have known the meaning of. Most children haven't even heard the word enigma.
      No doubt, this woman is mentally ill, but she is clearly faking.

    • victim
