Billy Milligan's Multiple Personalities — Dissociative Identity Disorder
5 8649
At the end of 1977, several rapes occurred on the campus of the Ohio State University for a short period.
Due to the fact that one of the victims identified the rapist from a photo in the police file, his location was revealed and the suspect was detained as soon as possible.
It was a certain Billy Milligan — a 22 year old boy who had been convicted of rape and armed robbery two years earlier.
The strange behavior of the detainee first led the police to the idea that the suspect was faking a mental disorder in order to escape justice.
But already in the process of preparing for the trial, the defense of the accused insisted on conducting a psychological examination conducted by Dr. Willis K. Driscoll.
Milligan's preliminary diagnosis was called acute schizophrenia.
To accurately establish the disease, the suspect was examined at the Southwest Mental Health Center in Columbus.
Dorothy Turner, a psychologist who conducted the study, made a disappointing conclusion for the prosecution — Billy Milligan suffers from multiple personality disorder.
Milligan was declared insane, after which he was sent to a psychological health center for compulsory treatment.
It would seem that there is nothing unusual here — a split personality is not such an outlandish disease.
But the fact is that Dorothy Turner, a psychologist who examined Milligan, stated at least ten personalities living in his body.
These individuals, depending on the situation, took control of the body — this explained the sharp changes in the patient's behavior, the illogicality of actions and other striking oddities.
Individuals had different ages, nationalities, skills and "functions".
Billy Milligan's Dissociative Identity Disorder
Billy is the original identity of William Stanley Milligan.
Due to a lack of understanding of what is actually happening to him, Billy shows suicidal tendencies.
After an unsuccessful attempt to jump from the roof on his 16th birthday, Billy was " put to sleep "by the decision of" others " and slept until the next awakening for seven years.
After Milligan "suddenly" woke up in prison, he also tried to commit suicide — by smashing his head against the wall of his own cell in blood.
Arthur is an intellectual, speaks with a London accent.
It was Arthur who found out that there are too many personalities in Billy's body.
He developed "rules of behavior" for the rest of the personalities (Arthur himself prefers to call them people).
Arthur tends to science: he independently learned Arabic and Swahili; an expert in some areas of medicine.
Sometimes he smokes a pipe.
Ragen Vadaskovinich is a person who manifests himself in dangerous situations.

Danny is a 14 year old boy, distrustful of people, very afraid of men.
It was Danny who possessed Milligan's consciousness when his stepfather buried him in a shallow grave, leaving only a breathing tube; because of this, Danny is afraid of the earth in any form and even promised never to lie down on the grass again.
For the same reason, he draws only still lifes.
David is an 8 year old boy who appears to take the pain.
It is believed that David as one of Milligan's personalities appeared during the period when Billy was sexually abused by his stepfather.
Christopher is a 13 year old Englishman who plays the harmonica.
Kristin is 3 years old, Christopher's sister.
Probably the first of Milligan's multiple personalities and one of the first to learn about the existence of others.
Taking possession of Billy's consciousness, Kristin helped her mother and took care of Milligan's younger sister.
Adalana is 19 years old, an active lesbian.
Adalana controlled Milligan's mind during the rapes.
For a long time, only Arthur and Kristin knew about the existence of Adalana.
She was recognized as an undesirable person, as a result of which she was forbidden to control consciousness.
The remaining 13 personalities of Milligan were declared undesirable by Arthur and Ragen and capable of harming the body — they were forbidden to "stand on the Spot" and control consciousness.
Sean is a 4 year old boy with a developmental delay, deaf.
Billy occupied the child's mind when he was shouted at and cursed.
It was declared undesirable, since it was no longer necessary with age.
Jason 13 years old a hysterical personality through which the tense situations that arose in Billy's childhood were removed, most often such "steam descents" led to difficult situations.
