Three Faces of Eve
Three faces of eve
How profound must it have been for the two psychiatrists to stmble upon the first recorded case of multiple personality disorder (MPD). This discovery opened the eyes of people all around the world and was arguably the reason for the massive rise in diagnoses for MPD. The movie is based on a true story of a woman named Chris Costner Sizemore, in the movie she is referred to as Eve White along with her two other personalities Eve black and Jane. The movie illustrates how two psychiatrists, Corbett H. Thigpen and Hervey M. Cleckley, diagnose Eve white and her multiple personalities.
The movie begins with the husband of Eve and herself at Dr. luthers office which her new psychiatrists who she was refereed to by her original doctor. He begins by asking her why she is there and she tells him. She says that she thinks she has a case of amnesia and that she has headaches before it all happens. She claims that she cannot remember anything that happens to her when she gets these “spells”. ( this is what she calls the MPD before she finds out what it really is) Dr. luther asked her what she meant by speels and she claims that she first gets a splitting headache and then she becomes conscious at a later time with no recollection of where she was or what she did between the headache and that point. The husband said that when she would have these spell that he did not notice much of a difference. The doctor sends them on their way and tells eve to come back every few weeks. Her does not get the sever headeaches as much and she doesn’t have any more blackouts.
About a year later she gets another black out and the husband comes home to find out that eve has purchased dresses that she claims she never bought. He begins to yell at her and it snaps her back to Eve Black who then tries to kill the daughter for telling the husband about the dresses. They end up going back to Dr. Luther and the husband tells him what she did and she does not remember at all.
