Sybil

Or you could try and get hold of this, based on the best-selling account of a girl with Multiple Personality Disorders, a very controversial (i.e. no one is really sure it exists) disorder now called Dissociative Identity Disorder...

Fun for all the family at Christmas.

Requiem For A Dream

Too disturbing to show in class and not for the faint-hearted but worth a watch if you want to see amphetamine psychosis in full flow and fancy a look at what Electro-Convulsive Therapy is like. Also probably the best anti-drugs film ever.

Very freaky promotional website too.
