Legend of “Foody-Sue” ping
After 40+ years in the shrink business (ret), my observation is that Multiple personality disorder is a very rare condition. I had only three such patients.
I once knew somebody whose entire practice was based on detecting and documenting multiple personality disorder. He was not a psychiatrist, or psychologist. His degree was in social work, but he was allowed to practice s a therapist in WI.
See #4. What about 3 Faces of Eve. That came before Sybil, as I remember. Was Eve a true case, or was that made up too?

...”just telling you, folks — (interruption) all women have multiple personality disorder if you want to get down to brass tacks, but not in a clinical sense.”
IMHO Eve is an authentic account of MPD.
BTW, Sybil was considered by those in the profession to be nothing but show business; I never even read it.
yah....”Sybil” may have been a hoax, but Sally Field is still a bat-shit crazy Progtard for real.....
Shame that Billy Milligan evaded justice for his crimes via that defense.
I know two family members who suffer from restless leg. And I do mean suffer. C’mon Rush. One hoax and suddenly everything is fake?
I always knew this was a hoax.....No you didn’t......I thought it was possible......Shut up!.......Who’s got the mustard?
Brain biology is science.
Almost all advancement in the treatment of mental disorders has come from science and molecular treatments, not psychiatric ‘sit down and talk about it’ treatment.
A even better comparison would be the pseudo-science claim that homosexuality is inborn and natural and that all people are born within some sort of sexual spectrum (multiple sexualities?) whereas the left-wing seem to think that gender is a fluid changing dynamic and that all types of sexual behavior are good as long as they follow the witches rede of ‘Do as Thou Wilt but Harm None’ or as it is rephrased by the left – ‘As long as it is two consenting adults and isn’t harming anyone’.
While I do agree that the left-wing is making the science up in regards to global warming / climate change, they are also making the science up in regards to sexuality but talk show hosts such as Limbaugh, Hannity and Levin seem to want to give them a pass on sexuality issues and ignore the topic.
Psychiatrist says to his patient “Why do you think you are Napoleon?”
He answers “God told me I was.”
A voice from the other room screams out “No I didn’t!”
The facts are stranger than fiction.
IMHO, it was pre-emptive attack to cover up experiments conducted by CIA in Montreal 1957-61 , in case they leak out.
The same way the title "Three days of the Condor" was used for a Hollywood movie to cover up existence of "Operation Condor" in case it leaks.
Victims of brainwashing experiments could be written-off as MPD. Elegant.
Not so elegant were barbaric practices that were the highlight of U.S. medicine of the same time - wide spread Electro-convulsive therapy, hysterectomies with no medical justification, psychotropic drugs administered to spouses because husbands complained of their behavior, and so on.
Drugging two generations of children for bogus diagnosis (ADD) will bring significant death toll of suicides.
Hey, but on a bright side, it brought billions of profits to shareholders who did not ask too many questions where their profits are coming from.
Just trying to one up Gollum who came out a few years befor Eve.
“YES, DEAR, I’M DOING IT DEAR. HOW CAN I DO IT IF YOU KEEP YELLING AT ME!” - Basil.
Part of me laughs at this and another part finds it mildly amusing while another part wants to know the psychiatrist’s name.
