From 2018: Rachel Aviv reports on the case of Hannah Upp, who suffered from dissociative fugues, a rare condition in which people lose access to their memory and personal identity.

But, in the decades after Bourne’s disappearance, the study of dissociation largely vanished. The prevailing schools in psychology and psychiatry—behaviorism and psychoanalysis—adopted models of the mind that were incompatible with the concept. Then, in the nineteen-eighties, several thousand people claimed that, having been abused as children, they had developed multiple selves.

Barbara filed for divorce when Hannah was fifteen. Upp moved abroad and taught the Gospel, often to indigenous tribes, in Fiji, Palau, Guam, Malta, India, Zimbabwe, Guyana, and the Philippines, where he now lives in a one-room house in a remote village. In 2007, Barbara took a leave from her position as a pastor and moved to Pendle Hill, a Quaker retreat outside Philadelphia. She and Upp stopped speaking to each other.

Hannah thought that her fugue may have begun with a liminal phase: there were two days when she slept in her apartment but communicated with no one. Her bank records showed that she had gone to a movie in Times Square which she had no memory of seeing. Dan learned that there had been a Japanese floating-lantern ceremony on the pier on September 11th, to honor the victims of the World Trade Center attacks. As a child, Hannah had danced in an annual Obon festival, which has a floating-lantern ceremony, the lights representing the souls of the departed. Barbara said, “Something about that powerful ritual registered.”

Bhattacharya said that when she and Hannah spoke about the experience they often lapsed into silence. “It felt like the words we have in the English language were not sufficient to describe this,” Bhattacharya said. Hannah saw a few therapists, but found conversations with her friends more helpful. She described the mental-health system as dogmatic and overly attached to its diagnostic models. She felt as if her experiences had to be reshaped to fit within the diagnoses.
