All of us can recollect times when we have thought that something we had done was so out of character that some other person must have temporarily invaded our body and been the protagonist of such an event. Surely we know that the same phenomenon is true for others around us especially when they surprise us through their unexpected behavior. But perhaps we should not be alarmed at such irregularities or discrepancies. they may be signs that we are allowing different parts of our personalities to find creative and integrated expression. Peter Baldwin provides us with a way to understand our miultiple selves as well as those of others. Dr. Baldwin also provides us with a vast array of therapeutic techniques that can be used to facilitate the discovery of ourselves and aid in their integration.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A revoluationary approach to psychotherapy.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Four and Twenty Blackbirds: Personae Theory and the Understanding of Our Multiple Selves (Paperback)
In "Blackbirds" Dr. Baldwin describes a psychoanalytic process of discovering our "selves." (That's right, plural.) His approach encourages us to look at the cast of characters which make up the self, how these characters interact in the "community of the self" and the various roles each character plays in the script we all write for our lives. Dr. Baldwin's personae theory explores the psychological power of literature and theater and how these can move us and enrich us, whether staged in a theater, or in our heads. A facinating look at the psyche that turns inward and outward until there doesn't seem to be a difference between the two; which is, of course, the whole point.

Bringing It All Back Home,
This review is from: Four and Twenty Blackbirds: Personae Theory and the Understanding of Our Multiple Selves (Paperback)
Reading this book consolidated a natural knowledge I'd always had -- it made perfect sense without stretching or pushing or being difficult to understand, and without having a strong background in psychology, psychiatry or personality theory. Dr. Baldwin's book is impressive both in its treatment of the concept of "self" and its readability.
