A BESTSELLING BOOK AN ACADEMY AWARD WINNING FILM A RIVETING STORY OF MULTIPLE PERSONALITIES! “ONCE IN A BLUE MOON A BOOK HITS YOU LIKE THIS ONE. It is the fantastic true story of a young housewife who was three women in one body . . more fascinating and suspenseful than most novels. AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE.” —Chicago Tribune “Engrossing from the. first headache to the last shriek.” ' —Indianapolis Star “Rarely does medical history-—or fact of any nature—attain the suspense and interest found in THE THREE FACES OF EVE. No subject can be more fascinating.” —Kansas City Star ABOUT THE AUTHORS Both Drs. Thigpen and Cleckley are native Georgians and both took their medical degrees at the Medical College of Georgia. Dr. Thigpen is now Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and Neurology at the Medical College of Georgia and a member of the Psychiatric StaflE at the University Hospital in Augusta. Dr. Cleckley is a Diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and a Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association and of the American College of Physicians. He was Professor of Psychiatry and Neurology at the Medical College of Georgia from 1937 to 1955. He is at present Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and Neurology at the Medical College of Georgia and Chief of the Psychiatric Service at the University Hospital. He is the author of The Mask of Sanity, a study of the psychopathic personality. In 1954 Drs. Thigpen and Cleckley wrote a technical article, “A Case of Multiple Personality,” for the Journal of Abnormal and Social Psychology. This appeared before they had completed the work on the case. The Three Faces of Eve is an extension of that' collaboration—a complete account of this extraordinary case which is likely to engage the lay reader’s interest as vividly as that of physicians and professional workers in psychology and sociology.

TO LOUISE MARTIN CLECKLEY Who was often called into service as psychiatrist to both of us through the bewildering years while we were treating this patient. Often the effort of two men seemed. not quite adequate to deal with the three faces of this problem. For the contribution of a woman’s understanding to our work and for true collaboration in presenting this study we are immeasurably grateful. ACKNOWLEDGEMEN
