personality can e distinction from the other personalities in a number of ways, including posture, manner
of moving, tone and pitch of voice, gestures, facial expressions and use of language. A person suffering
from dissociative identity disorder may have a large number of independent personalities or perhaps only
two or three.
Two stories of actual women suffering from dissociative identity disorder have been extensively
recounted in books and films that are familiar to the public. One of them is the story of a woman with 22
separate personalities know as Eve. In the 1950s, a book by Corbett Thigpen and a motion picture starring
Joanne Woodward, each of which was titled The three faces of Eve, presented her story; the title referred
to three faces, when the woman known as Eve actually experienced 22 different personalities, because
only 3 of the personalities could exist at one time. Two decades later, Carolyn Sizemore, Eve’s 22nd
personalities, wrote about her experiences in a book entitled I’m Eve. The second well-known story of a
woman suffering from dissociative identity disorder is the story of Sybil, a woman whose 16 distinct
personalities emerged over a period of 40 years. A book describing Sybil’s experiences was written by
Flora Rreta Schreiber and was published in 1973; a motion picture based on the book and tarring Sally
Field followed.
