The Control of Eve: The True Story Behind the Three Faces of Eve

In The Control of Eve, Dr. Ross provides a documented account of the control and exploitation of Chris Sizemore, the real Eve, by her psychiatrists, Dr. Corbett Thigpen. In 1953, Dr. Thigpen had Chris Sizemore sign over her lifetime story rights to him and his colleague, Dr. Hervey Cleckley: the two doctors paid her $3.00 for these rights - one dollar for each of her three personalities. This was all the money she received for the best-selling book The Three Faces of Eve, written by Drs. Thigpen and Cleckley. The Control of Eve is based on extensive background research and documents gathered by Dr. Ross, Chris Sizemore and Jerry Naylor as they worked together on the book. Thankfully, the first edition of this book (under the title The Rape of Eve) was published before Chris Sizemore passed away on July 24, 2016. The Control of Eve is dedicated to her memory. Colin A. Ross received his M.D. from the University of Alberta in 1981 and completed his specialty training in psychiatry at the University of Manitoba in 1985. He is the author of over 200 papers in professional journals, most of them dealing with dissociation, psychological trauma and multiple personality disorder. He is a Past President of the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation.
