What diagnosis was given to Chris Sizemore, a guest lecturer for the Betty Batson Bell Brain & Learning Lecture series? Hint: The Three Faces of Eve is based on her life
a. Schizophrenia
b. Dissociative Identity Disorder
c. Bi-Polar Disorder
d. Borderline Personality Disorder
The answer is B, Dissociative Identity Disorder!
Previously known as Multiple Personality Disorder, there is actually some debate among professionals whether this condition actually exists. For Mrs. Sizemore the disorder was very real, as she presented approximated twenty personality over the course of many years, with personalities arising in groups of three. Several of her personalities were artists or poets, and she presented some of their art during one of her visits to Stetson. After many years of therapy Mrs. Sizemore's personalities have been integrated, and she remains a fascinating individual. She has visited Stetson several times, so if she comes again, be sure to attend the lecture!
