Face to Face

The dissociative identity disorder is characterized by the fact that different personality states (dissociative identities)
alternately take control of a person’s thinking, feeling and acting. These different personalities have their own characteristics, behaviors, abilities, perceptions and thinking patterns. In addition, there are gaps in memories of events or personal information that can no longer be explained by ordinary forgetfulness.

 

By using interviews with affected people and experts about psychiatric clinics as well as literary research, an attempt was made to create a scenario that helps exhibition visitors to get into the emotional and mental world of a person with a dissociative identity disorder.
