In a community in which everyone seems to know everyone else, and life could not be more Norman Rockwell-esque if it tried, gruesome deaths and possibly even sexual crimes are occurring at an alarming rate. Is the murderer the doctor who just came to town, or maybe the mailman's new wife? After a long and drawn out investigation, the trusty sheriff (or maybe a local writer - this part is interchangeable) realizes that the true culprit is a housewife who had spent her entire life in Nowhere. How is this possible, one may ask, in this perfect little town, and the answer, of course, is obvious; this poor woman has multiple personalities, and exists as Suburban Suzy most of the time, but morphs into Serial Killer Suzanne before committing a murder. In Hollywood, this scenario is one that is often used when there is a lack of alternative, juicy plot lines available. Known officially as Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)

A dissociative disorder is the breakdown of one’s perception of his/her surroundings, memory, identity, or consciousness. There are four main kinds of dissociative disorders: Dissociative amnesia Dissociative fugue Dissociative identity disorder (previously called multiple personality disorder) Depersonalization disorder What are the main characteristics of each dissociative disorder? Dissociative amnesia: A dissociative amnesia may be present when a person is unable to remember important personal information, which is usually associated with a traumatic event in his/her life. The loss of memory creates gaps in this individual's personal history. Dissociative fugue: A dissociative fugue may be present when a person impulsively wanders or travels away from home and upon arrival in the new location is unable to remember his/her past. The individual's personal identity is lost because that person is confused about who he/she is. The travel from home generally occurs following a stressful event. The person in the fugue appears to be functioning normally to other people. However, after the fugue experience, the individual may not be able to recall what happened during the fugue state. The condition is usually diagnosed when relatives find their lost family member living in another community with a new identity.

Background DSM IV Associated Disorders Background Quote from Joan A. Turkus, M.D. As society has become increasingly aware of the prevalence of child abuse and its serious consequences, there has been an explosion of information on posttraumatic and dissociative disorders resulting from abuse in childhood. Since most clinicians learned little about childhood trauma and its aftereffects in their training, many are struggling to build their knowledge base and clinical skills to effectively treat survivors and their families. Understanding dissociation and its relationship to trauma is basic to understanding the posttraumatic and dissociative disorders. Dissociation is the disconnection from full awareness of self, time, and/or external circumstances. It is a complex neuropsychological process. Dissociation exists along a continuum from normal everyday experiences to disorders that interfere with everyday functioning. Common examples of normal dissociation are: highway hypnosis (a trance-like feeling that develops as the miles go by)

Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) was defined in DSM-III-R as being: A. The existence within the person of two or more distinct personalities or personality states (each with its own relatively enduring pattern of perceiving, relating to, and thinking about the environment and self). B. At least two of these personalities or personality states recurrently take full control of the person's behavior. In DSM-IV MPD was renamed Dissociative Identity Disorder. Dr. Colin Ross one of the leading experts in the field, is a psychiatrist whose experience is primarily within a hospital setting and in research. In his book on MPD he provides a wealth of information on this condition. He describes MPD (using a female patient as an example) as follows. MPD can be diagnosed with a high degree of validity and reliability. However, it will not be recognized without making a specific inquiry for its signs and symptoms. This inquiry is not part of a standard psychiatric assessment, which is why so many cases are missed....

Hope For Healing. Org Dissociative Identity Disorder (MPD) This page has been requested by so many people that adding it has becme a must. Hopefully these links will help dispel some misconceptions about what D.I.D./M.P.D. really is. Dissociative Identity Disorder (formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder) seems to effect many people. It has been suggested that it is a coping disorder that helps people deal with intensive abuse in thier lives in a manner that allows that person to cope effectively. "My husband is afraid for people to know he has been diagnosed with MPD. I'm proud of him and wish all the people who dissociate because of abuse could know how special they really are!" Becca age 42 There are many sites on the web. These are only a few. I offer them to help educate others and to support the creators of these pages. Some of the pages are intense. Some are triggering. Most of these pages do offer a guide as you go through them as to what material may be most suitable given the emotional space that you are in. Always, when dealing with potentially triggering materials remember that you may come back at any time. Take the pages at your own pace. They do for the most part offer a wonderful testimony to the ability people have to survive in even the worst of circumstances.

What is dissociative identity disorder? You can find information on DID (dissociative identity disorder)by reading this article. If you have any of the symptoms described below, check with your doctor. “You have dissociative identity disorder”, the psychiatrist told me. My mouth hung open in disbelief. This was the third psychiatrist I had seen in six months for evaluation, and this one was on the roster of official court ordered psychiatrists for the county. I had gone to him on my own hoping for a different diagnosis, and was sorely disappointed. Images of Sybil, or an out of control alter frothing at the mouth, flashed into my mind. I worried that I would be seen by others in this light. I knew very little about DID at that time, and had no idea how wrong my misconceptions of it were. Dissociative identity disorder (DID, formerly called MPD, or multiple personality disorder) is a psychological response to trauma that is usually severe and occurs early in childhood. For the person with DID, the challenge is learning to cope with daily life, while healing from the traumatic events of childhood. In this article, I will be sharing from my perspective both as a health professional, and a survivor, on how to cope with DID. This is NOT meant to replace therapy with a qualified therapist or psychiatrist, but only meant to be informational based on one person’s experiences with DID. DID has been called a “chronic form of post-traumatic disorder.” Certainly the symptoms of PTSD are encapsulated in the personality states of the person with DID. Learning what symptoms may occur, and how to deal with them, while maintaining a healthy lifestyle, is the challenge for the person in recovery.

No 5.507-523 Summary In a recent article in this journal, D. H. Gleaves (1996) criticized the socio-cognitive model (SCM; N. P. Spanos, 1994) of dissociative identity disorder (DID) and argued in favor of a posttraumatic model (PTM) in which DID is conceptualized as a consequence of childhood abuse and other traumatic events. The present authors demonstrate that (a) many of Gleaves's arguments were predicated on misunderstandings of the SCM, (b) scrutiny of the evidence regarding the psychopathology and assessment of DID raises questions concerning the PTM's conceptual and empirical underpinnings

73. NAMI Dissociative Identity Disorder (formerly Multiple NAMI s fact sheet for dissociative identity disorder formerly known as MultiplePersonality Disorder. http://www.nami.org/Content/ContentGroups/Helpline1/Dissociative_Identity_Disord

(formerly Multiple Personality Disorder) Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), previously referred to as multiple personality disorder (MPD), is a dissociative disorder involving a disturbance of identity in which two or more separate and distinct personality states (or identities) control the individual's behavior at different times. When under the control of one identity, the person is usually unable to remember some of the events that occurred while other personalities were in control. The different identities, referred to as alters, may exhibit differences in speech, mannerisms, attitudes, thoughts, and gender orientation. The alters may even differ in "physical" properties such as allergies, right-or-left handedness, or the need for eyeglass prescriptions. These differences between alters are often quite striking. The person with DID may have as few as two alters, or as many as 100. The average number is about 10. Often alters are stable over time, continuing to play specific roles in the person's life for years. Some alters may harbor aggressive tendencies, directed toward individuals in the person's environment, or toward other alters within the person. At the time that a person with DID first seeks professional help, he or she is usually not aware of the condition. A very common complaint in people with DID is episodes of amnesia, or time loss. These individuals may be unable to remember events in all or part of a proceeding time period. They may repeatedly encounter unfamiliar people who claim to know them, find themselves somewhere without knowing how they got there, or find items that they don't remember purchasing among their possessions.
