Quite Intriguing,
By Katie "book worm" (PA , USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Multiple Man: Explorations in Possession and Multiple Personality (Hardcover)
There is so much information included in this book, that I'm not quite sure where to begin..."Multiple Man" is essentially about the theory that we all have "divided conciousness", or various personalities within us. The idea being that various personas show themselves in response to different situations - this is shown as being "normal". But there is also another side to the multiplicity of man that is decidedly "abnormal" - such as with those who suffer from "multiple personality disorder", and those who feel as if they're being influenced from within by an outside source. In these situations, where a person is being negatively influenced by "other personalities", the author looks at the situation through both scientific/psychological & "occult" theories. 1 of the "occult" theories is that of possession - that people can become possessed by the dead, living family members & thought-forms (of both a good & bad nature). Mr. Crabtree included several examples where this appears to be the case, and shows that when the therapist treats each "personality" or "entity" as though it's real - regardless of whether they &/or the client actually believe them to be real - much can be accomplished by way of ridding the client of whatever negativity has been occuring. The author also describes in detail how he has learned to deal with these situations, and what other therapists can expect if they choose to adopt his methods. Overall, I found the concepts discussed to be quite intriguing, and my interest was maintained throughout the reading. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in psychology &/or spirituality. An open mind is a must!
