This is a remarkable true story. This author, a single woman, resigns from her nursing career and adopts a severely abused child with uncontrolled behaviors. She finalizes the complicated adoption. The child and mother adopt each other as it becomes a match made in hell. They learn in this process they need to change their response with each different behavior. Many things seem backwards as the mother pushes forward. Nothing is normal. She’s changing now too. Everything she’s ever learned is now all backwards to her. Thus the name of this book, Me Other The, with is The Other Me backwards. The behaviors are specific personalities that later are diagnosed as Disassociative Identity Disorder, and therapy begins. The story takes you up and down the mother-daughter roller coaster ride with inspirational twists and turns. Physical evidence proves court intervention and specialized counseling is a very important tool.

This is a fantastic and fascinating true story,
By
This review is from: Me Other The (Paperback)
Me Other The is the true story of a woman who wanted only to make a difference in a young persons life. So she adopts a little girl who had been severely abused and neglected named "Tiffany". How could she know the problems that would arise from this adoption or of the after effects of the abuse? This book is a testimony to why child abuse is so wrong. As the author states in one of the first chapters in the book,do we really know what goes on in the mind of an abused child? It is also an affirmation of survival and the strength and courage of the human heart. Goetz stays with "Tiffany" and tries to find her help despite her behavior problems and she continues to love and care for the child when it would have been easier to just return her to foster care. This book gives you a glimpse of the relationship between the two, the problems with trying to work with the systems that exist and the disbelief these systems have of the diagnosis of "Dissociative Identity Disorder". Through it all the bond between the two and Goetz' determination see them through in a long and rough journey to find help for a child who had been through a kind of hell no child deserves to go through. I highly recommend this book to anyone concerned with children and those who are interested in Dissociative Identity Disorder( formerly called Multiple Personality Disorder).
