SCOPE: Dissociative identity disorder (formerly called multiple personality disorder) is characterized as the presence of two or more distinct identities, each with a characteristic way of perceiving, thinking, and feeling, and relating to the environment and the self. (Corsini, Encyclopedia of Psychology) In some cases, the personalities are unaware of each other. Two or more of the personalities assume control over the individuals behavior. The most celebrated case of dissociative identity disorder is portrayed in the classic film The Three Faces of Eve.
