    Case Study: Chris Sizemore: Dissociative Personality


    Background History:
    Chris Costner Sizemore (born Chris Costner April 4, 1927) is a woman who, in the 1950s, was diagnosed
    with Multiple Personality Disorder, now known as dissociative identity disorder
    Christine claims her multiple personalities date back to her childhood in South Carolina. There were
    several traumatic events, such as seeing the body of a man who had been cut in half after a sawmill
    accident. Christine also saw a drunk man being dragged from an irrigation ditch and believed it was a
    dead body; and when her mother cut her arm accidentally and blood poured everywhere. Too young to
    deal directly with what she had seen, she developed the first in a line of alternative personalities.

    Christine as a child also felt unloved by her mother and jealous when her twin sisters were born. Her
    alter (other personalities) would do all the forbidden things that Christine was inhibited about - stealing
    apples, being cruel to her sisters, failing school tests and wandering away from home for long periods.
    Her parents noticed her "strange little habits". Later on in life Christine maintained that she loved her
    mother and sisters, but her alter expressed the hatred she had repressed deep inside

    Recommended Treatment Plan for Dissociative Identity Disorder


    While there's no "cure" for dissociative identity disorder, long-term treatment is very successful, if the
    patient stays committed. Effective treatment includes talk therapy or psychotherapy, medications,
    hypnotherapy, and adjunctive therapies such as art or movement therapy

    Description Explanation Prediction Control


    The attending psychologist or

    and how it will affect her from
    her day-to-day living.
