I've been reading about Disassociative Identity Disorder for one of my classes, and it's really quite facinating. Have any of you heard of Sybil? It was a movie, and a book as well. I read it a long time ago. She had something like 15 different personalities. It's books like that which make me sure I chose the right major. I find it so interesting

You should read When Rabbit Howls. It's an biographical account of a woman named Truddi Chase who has over 80 different personalities. It's quite fascinating.

Now that I think about it, that title sounds familiar. I think my prof mentioned it in class. I'll definitely check it out. Thanks for the tip!

What's cool is that Crazy Jane, a superhero with multiple personalities from Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol, is based on her.

Was one of these personalities a supervillain? That would be interesting.

Well, none of them are actively a supervillain, but one of them, Black Annis, does like to castrate males.

If you get the book, this is the version that's the cheapest and the one that I own.

Eighty? Most of us have enough trouble maintaining one.

According to her wikipedia page, she actually has 92 personalities.

Hey, check this out... Livejournal actually has a community to discuss multiple personality disorder! I just added it to my friends list. I'm very curious.
