A great introduction for patients, family, and friends,

This review is from: More Than One: An Inside Look at Multiple Personality Disorder (Hardcover)
This is a book I have lent to several people to introduce them to the complex world of dissociative identity disorder, (formerly called multiple personality disorder). Those who have read it have come to a sound, positive understanding of the disorder. Through its gentle treatment of the topic, the fears of others have been allayed and I have been able to show others my true selves. The book is an easy, fast read, written for the general public. I'm sad to find that the book is out-of-print; it has been a great resource!

A must read for understanding someone with multiple personalities.,

This review is from: More Than One: An Inside Look at Multiple Personality Disorder (Hardcover)
Did you know that when someone has "multiple personalities", each personality can be allergic to DIFFERENT foods, or require completely different eye glasses in order to read, or even not have diabetes when another personality does? Don't ask me to explain it, but each personality is, in every sense, a completely different person. This is why I do not refer to this phenomenon as a "disorder". Although, a person with multiple personalities will have difficulties dealing with life that others do not have, in many other ways their coping skills are far superior to those with only one "personality".
I can speak about the subject of multiple personalities from personal experience because I was married to someone I loved very much who had multiple personalities. I was fortunate to have found this book at a very early point in our relationship because it enabled me to understand something that would have otherwise been incomprehensible. After I read this book, I wanted to learn more and bought several other books on this subject. However, nothing came close to providing as good an understanding as this book. I can't recommend it highly enough.

I am familiar with D.I.D.- What M.P.D. is now called. I have recommended this book several times. There are those who think multiplicity is rare. Not so! This book gave an easy to understand explanation of this disorder. It includes an indepth look into the family dynamics that contribute to this disorder. I find it very helpful in better understanding how abuse affects the entire family and how all members of the family are contributors to it. We need to be educated in this area and I found this book helped me to achieve that. I highly recommend it.
