we’ve heard testimony that sometimes what is thought to be multiple personality disorder
is really confused with other disorders. What are the tests that prove
multiple personality disorder isn’t one of those other conditions?”
“There is no test.” Brennan’s mouth dropped open in surprise as he glanced at the jury.
“There is no test? Are you saying that there’s no way to tell whether someone who claims
he has MPD is lying or malingering or using it to excuse some crime
he or she doesn’t want to be held responsible for?” “As I said, there is no test.”
“So it’s simply a matter of opinion? Some psychiatrists believe in it and some don’t?”
“That’s right.” “Let me ask you this, Doctor. If you hypnotize someone,
surely you can tell whether they really have MPD or they’re pretending to have it?”
Dr. Upton shook his head. “I’m afraid not. Even under hypnosis or with Sodium Amytal,
there is no way of exposing someone if he or she is faking.”
