Another thing worth noting is that one of the girls from Sex and the City, "Cynthia Nixon" in the ninth season opener of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, she played a character with Multiple Personality Disorder (Dissociative Identity Disorder), it was called "Alternate" and the whole MPD issue is pretty well explained throughout the episode (obviously lacking in overt mind control, but there are some clues as to the subtext of the episode, with plenty of butterflies in her apartment, one of her alters is an expert on spiders, she specifically looks for the black widow which has an hourglass ((Dick Cheney's Pentagon office, Oz programming)) on it's abdomen, and other subversive hints). The psychiatrist in the show is Dr. Wong, Ice T says "I'll call Wong and tell him to bring the butterfly net." Dr. Wong, in his infinite wisdom states on MPD/DID, "From what you're telling me she has Dissociative Identity Disorder, or what we used to call Multiple Personality Disorder... it's almost always the result of long term childhood sexual abuse ... tell me about her alters... When a child is repeatedly abused she can detach and imagine that it's happening to someone else, additional personalities are created to cope with the trauma... It's a question of finding the right trigger (to bring out the alter that knows where her baby is)... People with DID are easily hypnotized" She and her sister were abused by their father, Janus (Nixon) kills them both (the mother too, who did nothing to stop it) with a shotgun. It is interesting to see the different personalities being brought out (overly sexed ones, overly violent ones etc.) and whatnot, in the end you find out whose side the program is really on (the abuser or the abused), and it is the abused; as they end the episode with you finding out that she faked the whole thing, and her fellow abused sister is taken off to jail... nice. But again, the subtext (not the overt plot) throughout the show is where the real message is.
