Description
We uncover history's earliest cases of multiple personality or dissociative identity disorder: the medieval nun Jeanne Fery, Mary Reynolds, and Louis Vivet, the real-life inspiration for Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde. Along the way, we consider how this phenomenon might provide evidence for the existence of a consciousness beyond our physical brains.
