== [[Literature]] ==
* In ''[[The Dark Tower]]'' series' second book, ''[[The Dark Tower (Literature)/The Drawing of the Three|The Dark Tower]]'', Odetta / Detta seems to recover from Dissociative Identity Disorder (incorrectly called schizophrenia in the book) when her two personalities merge; this merged personality calls herself Susannah. Several books later, when Susannah is possessed by a demon, Detta comes back to help Susannah deal with it.
* Done painfully straight in the last book of Piers Anthony's ''Mode'' series, in which a single telepathy-assisted Epiphany Therapy session in which Colene confronts a few specific traumatic experiences completely cures her major depression and other psychological problems.
* The ''[[Trapeze]]'' series generally plays this straight, although the fact that it's much less [[Anvilicious]] about it than other series makes it easier to swallow.
