"The Scream" Oil Painting 1980, Judy Castelli "The Scream" was painted well before my diagnosis of multiple personality disorder (DID), and before my understanding of what exactly was going on inside. It was painted without the knowlege of alter personalities, and before any memories fo child abuse. It is an accurate view of what I felt like inside, almost all the time. The closeup of this painting follows below. I have since found peace, I am no longer in the pain that is evident in this painting. It is often difficult for me to view this image, even at this point in my recovery. It may be triggering for some survivors. view the closeup Next Image Next Image Order Judy's "Survivor" Tee-Shirt.

It has validated so many things I had told my therapist, things I thought no one would ever be able to believe. It has provided me with hope and courage to continue my healing. I think it will be very beneficial to all who love and care about someone who has survived as well. I think these ladies are an inspiration and I thank them so much for sharing." Amongst Ourselves : A Self-Help Guide to Living With Dissociative Identity Disorder by Tracy, Ph.D. Alderman, Karen Marshall LCSW, "We had read everything we could get our hands on about MPD, hoping to find something we could use both as a therapeutic source for ourselves and a resource to share with important people in our life.This book not only does just that, but most importantly, it consistantly exudes respect for the multiple as a whole as well as for each alter. Rosalee, one of the alters of one of the authors, describes various facets of living with MPD with honesty and candor. We feel that this book should be distributed like World War Two propaganda: out of low-flying airplanes, to the masses."

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....

What is dissociative identity disorder? “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. bodyOffer(29071) 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.

It is my hope that the more aware of this phenomenon the public and Mental Health colleagues and other professionals are, there will be progess made in the understanding and treatment of it. I would appreciate, and ask those who would be willing to share either their personal experience or connection with Multiplicity if they would contact me from this site.

References Abstract This paper focuses on the process of assessing gender issues. Dissociation and Dissociative Identity Disorder are discussed. A case of dissociative identity disorder presenting as gender dysphoria is presented. This individual, who was sexually traumatized as a little girl, had seven surgeries to complete gender reassignment before treating clinicians recognized that there were multiple male and female ego states. Psychological testing and treatment recommendations are suggested so that integration can be achieved or at least consensus of ego states can be reached before GRS surgery is done. Introduction In the field of sexology, histories of sexual abuse are frequent. When the abuse has been severe and at an early age, dissociation may be used as a mechanism of defense to cope with overwhelming and continuous emotional assaults. In some cases this dissociation defense leads to development of separate ego states or alter personality states which are not co-conscious of other ego states. These "alters" may be male or female, of various ages and different perceived appearances. They may be persecutors or protectors of other alters which they do not usually perceive as being part of the same body or person. The research of this phenomenon has led to inclusion of Dissociation and specifically Dissociative Identity Disorder (300.14) in DSM IV.

Biology 202 1998 Second Web Reports On Serendip Dissociative Identity Disorder Rachel Kaplan Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) is considered by the American Psychiatric Association to be one of 4 main kinds of dissociative disorders (DSM-IV): "The essential feature of dissociative disorders is a disturbance or alteration in the normally integrative functions of identity, memory, or consciousness" . If identity is the main function affected, the person is said to have DID. Most non-DID people have one identity comprised of many parts that work harmoniously together. They have only one I-function which consists of a conglomeration of thoughts and feelings formed from connections between many different brain areas. People with MPD, however, have a decentralized, internal network of 2 or more I- functions or "alters," each with its own physiology, behavior, and cognitions. Dissociation often enables victims to maintain a relatively healthy level of functioning because traumatic memories are disconnected from other information in their minds. A multiple presents her view of DID: "We do not SUFFER FROM MPD. We SURVIVE because of MPD" . Living with this disorder is often an extremely lonely, confusing experience. Luckily, there has been much success in treating this disorder thanks to the extensive research conducted into DID etiology.

This paper was written by a student in a course at Bryn Mawr College, and reflects that student's research and thoughts at the time the paper was written. Like other things on Serendip , the paper is not intended to be "authoritative" but is instead provided to encourage others to themselves learn about and think through subjects of interest, and, by providing relevant web links, to serve as a "window" to help them do so. Web links were active as of the time the paper was posted but are not updated. Biology 202 2001 First Web Report On Serendip Dissociative Identity Disorder Sural Shah A small town in the middle of Nowhere, America is suddenly the victim of a serial killer. 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)
