        and Identity




        Tawnya Worthington
          Psychology 101
What is Dissociative
            Identity Disorder (DID)?

    DID was once known as Multiple
    Personality Disorder.

    DID is a severe dissociation disorder,
    which leads to a lack of connection in:
        −   A person's thoughts
        −   Memories
        −   Feelings
        −   Actions
        −   Sense of identity
What Causes DID?


    DID is is strongly correlated with:
        −   recurring, overpowering, and
            often life-threatening trauma at a
            sensitive developmental stage
        −   insistent neglect or emotional
            abuse
        −   families where parents are
            frightening and unpredictable, the
            children may become
            dissociative
Symptoms of DID


    2+ distinct identities or personality states
    are present

    2 or more identities continually take
    control of the person's behavior.

    Extensive memory loss that can not be
    explained by ordinary forgetfulness.

    These reoccurring symptoms are not the
    cause of substance abuse.
Identity

    A 2003 movie
    inspired by Agatha
    Christie's novel And
    Then There Were
    None.

    10 strangers
    become stranded at
    a Nevada hotel, 1 by
    1 they are all
    murdered.

    Who is the killer
    amongst them?
Malcolm Rivers

    As Malcolm Rivers awaits trial for
    several horrific murders at a hotel
    (unrelated to the current murders of 10
    people in Nevada), his attorney finds a
    journal that may explain his irradic
    behavior.
Significance




    As the trial continues, Doctor Mallick diagnoses
    Malcolm Rivers with DID.

    As Doctor Mallick is able to bring forth one
    personality “Ed” they converse about the events of
    the 10 people being murdered at the hotel in Nevada.

    This entire hostile situation is occurring in Malcolm's
    mind.

    1 by 1, Malcolm is killing off his multiple personalities.
