Identity and Delusion: The Three Christs of Ypsilanti

This chapter humorously juxtaposes childhood experiences with the serious ethical implications of a landmark psychological study known as the Three Christs of Ypsilanti. It explores the complexities of identity through anecdotes about children and the controversial philosophies of psychologist Milton Rokich, who experimented with the identities of mentally ill individuals. The discussion raises important questions about the morality of such experiments while delving into historical cases of delusions and their psychological ramifications.
