Sybil & Primal FearIn the films Sybil and Primal Fear psychological disorder, dissociative identity was evident in both Sybil and Aaron, respectively. Dissociative identity, formerly known as multiple personality disorder, is a condition disorder in which an individual has one host personality along with at least two or more personalities, each of which has its own ideas, memories, thoughts, and way of doing things (www.mental-health-matters.com). These identities alternate back and forth taking control over the other identities' behavior. The inability to remember pertinent personal information, such as: childhood history, is also a clear indication of this disorder. The needs and behavior that are missing from the primary identity are usually manifested freely by one or more altering identities (Butcher, Mineka, Hooley, 299). The alternate identities referred to by Butcher, Mineka and Hooley, may appear different in terms of gender, age, writing, sexual orientation, different languages ​​spoken and background information; “roles such as that of a child and someone of the opposite sex are extremely common” (299). These identities take control at different times and in most cases the changes happen very quickly. Some symptoms of DID include: depression, suicidal thoughts, headaches, post-traumatic symptoms, and others. (Butcher, Mineka, Hooley for APA, 2000; Maldonado et al., 2002 page 300). In the film, Sybil created distinct personalities to cope with the abuse she suffered from her mother as a child. Among her many personalities were: aggressive and angry Peggy, Mary who attempted suicide, little Sybil and Vicky the strong-willed French-speaking diva. Sybil, a shy and disturbed young woman, was aware that something was wrong, due to her blackouts, lapses in time and her bizarre behavior (in the scene where she was on a field trip with her students, an elderly lady was swinging a child and the sound of the swing triggered one of Sybil's personalities who began to reflect on some of the abuse Sybil had been exposed to as a child. When Sybil came to, she found herself standing in a pool of water). demonstrated, but was not aware that it was Dissociative Identity. There were many incidents directly related to this disease that manifested in Sybil throughout the film. For example, one of the symptoms associated with this disease is suicidal thoughts. Towards the end of the film, Mary, one of Sybil's identities, manifested herself at Christmas time, based on an incident that happened to Sybil when she was a little girl at Christmas time, and she decided it was time to end her life..
