Lillian, A True Story of Multiple Personality Disorder

Dr. Frank Alabiso is a clinical psychologist from Buffalo, NY, with more than 40 years of experience in treating individuals for the psychological effects of trauma on personality development. Over the span of his career, Dr. Alabiso has treated four individuals afflicted with the rare diagnosis of multiple personality disorder. Dr. Alabiso met Lillian when she was admitted and diagnosed at Memorial Hospital in Niagara Falls. 

Inspired by her personal strength and her triumph over mental illness, Dr. Alabiso joined Lillian’s aunt Jean Baker Reynolds in bringing Lillian’s story to light. Jean Baker Reynolds did what no psychiatrist could have done. Unrestrained by the formal training of psychiatrists at the time, she devoted 10 years of her life to Lillian’s triumph over multiple personality disorder.
