In the nineteenth-century writers were often preoccupied with what it meant to be mad. What causes it? How do mad people act? How do we stop or contain it? Should we even try? One form of madness gripped the artistic imagination with such power that it can be seen appearing across Europe, especially in Russia, France, and Britain. The double. The split. What would it be like to meet, or create, someone that was undoubtedly "you" and yet a complete stranger?As psychiatric science developed, society began giving this multiple names. First came the dédoublement, then the doppelgänger, next Multiple Personality Disorder, and now we call it Dissociative Identity Disorder. Nineteenth-century authors and psychiatrists worked in tandem to understand what this meant for mankind and for those living with the disorder. As time passed, the close alliance of art and medicine began to dissipate and DID was confined to the medical world.Until, in 2016, M. Night Shyamalan released his film 'Split', depicting a man with DID as a psychotic and terrifying beast, destined to destroy. Popular culture began to discuss multiple personalities, leading to irreparable damage to the worldwide community of sufferers. It is now time to collate all that we know from Critical Disability Studies, Mad Studies, Psychiatry, and Art in order to look back at these representations.My PhD will bridge this gap, develop 'Mad Gain' to prove the benefits of dissociative identities in helping us to all understand who we are and how we can fit into the world. I will argue for a positive outlook that will deconstruct traditional, damaging, representations and understandings and explore how people living with DID today can feel confident and proud of who they are.

在19世纪，作家们常常全神贯注于疯狂意味着什么。是什么原因造成的？疯子是怎么做的？我们如何阻止或遏制它？我们应该试试吗？有一种疯狂的形式以如此强大的力量抓住了艺术想象力，以至于在整个欧洲，特别是在俄罗斯，法国和英国，都可以看到它的出现。替身。分裂。遇到或创造一个毫无疑问是“你”的人，但却是一个完全陌生的人，会是什么感觉？随着精神病学的发展，社会开始给这种现象赋予多种名称。首先是双重人格解体，然后是二重身，接下来是多重人格障碍，现在我们称之为分离性身份障碍。19世纪的作家和精神病学家共同努力，以了解这对人类和患有这种疾病的人意味着什么。随着时间的推移，艺术与医学的密切联盟开始消散，DID仅限于医学界。直到2016年，M。Night Shyamalan发行了他的电影《分裂》，将一个患有DID的人描绘成一个精神病和可怕的野兽，注定要毁灭。流行文化开始讨论多重人格，导致对全球患者群体造成不可弥补的损害。现在是时候整理我们从严重残疾研究，疯狂研究，精神病学和艺术中所知道的一切，以回顾这些表征。我的博士学位将弥合这一差距，开发“疯狂增益”，以证明解离身份的好处，帮助我们所有人了解我们是谁，以及我们如何融入世界。我将主张一个积极的观点，将解构传统的，破坏性的，陈述和理解，并探讨今天与DID一起生活的人如何能够对自己感到自信和自豪。
