[Case study of multiple personality] Dissociative Identity Disorder This film records a case of multiple personality. A woman (Mrs. X) regresses to a childhood state (Susie). She also has another, less well-developed secondary personality (Jack). Later, in response to the death of her parish priest, Mrs. X goes into a trance state for 24 hours and emerges as a baby with a mental age of about one year. The patient is seen at a family picnic, and later, as Susie, writing down answers to questions. There appears to be a struggle between Susie and Jack, and when Jack appears, he exhibits male posture and handshake. Mrs. X hides from the camera, while Susie enjoys the spotlight. Mrs. X is also seen emerging from a trance state as a baby, exhibiting the behavior of a one-year-old. She plays with a ball and a doll, claps her hands, and puts things into her mouth. The last shots of the film are of the family 15 years later, outside their home. There are an adult male (Mr. X?), Mrs. X. and four children. Credits: Edward Carroll.
