Hi Beth. Thanks for responding to Michael's query and providing the video link. I just wish I could find a very nice discussion of DID that wasn't so long. As it is, I'm already devoting four class sessions to the chapter on disorders and have a hard time justifying spending an entire day on DID. In fact, my bias these last few years is to spend less and less time on the discussion of the dissociative disorders just given the controversy that surrounds this area. Of course, I'm fighting the students' interest on this one because they find it so fascinating! :) It's also tough deciding what to include and what to omit.

He convinced her that she had 126 personalities, and performed an exorcism on her as well. It would be laughable if it works so tragic. It is not available on YouTube, but Here is a link that still has it: Sent from my iPhone On 14 Apr 2015, at 10:21 am, Michael Britt < [email protected] > wrote: <blockquote> Our field is (desperately) trying to “expunge” the idea of multiple personalities from the public consciousness, it’s obviously going to be an uphill battle. I noticed that even a search of YouTube on “dissociative disorder” brings up a slew of popular videos (many old) on multiple personalities. The video that I showed my students: https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1085977368086270&fref=nf is fascinating but probably not nearly so as the ones with the dramatic video of people supposedly having multiple personalities. To the challenge remains: we need more videos on DID that clearly explain what we currently believe about this disorder and, preferably, in an interesting way. Michael Michael A.
