Lost in the mirror. Women with multiple personalities
Description
In this program, ABC News anchors Diane Sawyer and Sam Donaldson study the causes and key signs of dissociative identity disorder and the fragmented lives of two people dealing with its effects. "It isn't role playing and it is not mood swings. They are totally separate entities," says Chris Sizemore, the inspiration for the 1957 film The Three Faces of Eve. For 44 years, 22 personalities of various ages ruled her life. But for Lucy, a wife and mother of two, her personalities are not yet fully reintegrated. Sexually abused as a child, she developed seven little-girl personalities in addition to her adult one-further proof that child abuse can shatter an entire life.
