For what its worth, I prefer The Case of the Hillside Strangler and the second half of the case The Mask of Madness. This was presented over PBS in a slightly altered form a number of years ago. These are available from <www.films.com> #GTA7334-A and GTA7335-A. The two videos cost $159.95 which is on the expensive side but I think it is worth it. This is a case of a serial killer who is diagnosed DID by several Psychologists and Psychiatrists and is found to be faking it by two Psychiatrists-Psychologists and the courts. It shows students how complex and sophisticated the diagnostic issues are with this disorder. For a short segment I use The Brain Series from PBS. I have edited versions from when I used Myers intro text (segment #24 of his videos) and it is also part of the video package I have with my abnormal psych text by Comer (segment 217 of tape # IV). I like this because they present the evidence for DID but also show a therapy session where the therapist quite clearly calls forth and names the multiple personalities. That allows me to discuss the views of those who think multiples are a product of subtle aspects of the therapist client interaction (iatrogenic cause). I find the movies clearly biased and 3 Faces of Eve a bit dated and Sybil over dramatized. Students find Sybil engaging. Bob Grossman Kalamazoo College [EMAIL PROTECTED]
