dissociation and repair

Colt 2022-09-15 10:00:02

Dissociative identity disorder (DID) patients, adapted from real cases. The prototype of Eve is Chris Sizemore. In the process of psychology development, typical cases play an important role in promoting and inspire psychologists to keep thinking. Dissociation was sparked by a series of traumatic moments as a child, with a mother bleeding badly in the kitchen, seeing a man sawn in half at a lumber mill and more. A dissociative defense mechanism that allows her to protect the self-object from harm. In fact, she ended up with more than 20 personalities. Each sub-personality has unique memories, behaviors, thoughts, and emotions. Memories, identities, and consciousness that were originally integrated are separated in DID patients. With dissociative amnesia, patients often forget episodic memories related to "self-reference", while knowledge-based memory does not involve the individual himself, so there is no forgetting. Trauma - trauma reappears to the level of consciousness - healing, often the three steps of healing.

The Three Faces of Eve quotes

  • Eve Black: She know all about what I do?

    Dr. Luther: mm-hmm

    [nods]

    Eve Black: She tell you?

    Dr. Luther: When I ask her.

    Eve Black: Like about that sergeant?

    Dr. Luther: Yes, she told me about that.

    Eve Black: There! You see, that's what I mean having somebody runnin' all the time tellin' on you.

    Dr. Luther: You tell me about Mrs. White, don't you?

    Eve Black: Yeah, but she don't do anything.

  • Dr. Luther: It's a serious manifestation, the hearing of voices, but the difference in your case is this: You've been frightened by this voice because you recognize it as a symptom of illness. People who are actually losing their minds rarely find anything extraordinary about the hearing of voices. They almost invariably assume it's some sort of extra privilege that they enjoy... like personal radio reception, or built- in radar.

    Eve White: Yeah, but what if sometimes it sounds like my own voice?

    Dr. Luther: Your own voice? Doesn't make any difference.
