Although this book was one of, if not the first book published about DID aka MPD, it is wrong. Although we are told that "Mrs. White" was cured at the end of the book, that was a fantasy created by her psychiatrist. This book is about 3 of the many personalities that Chris Costner Sizemore has had in her life. If you want the real story, try I'm Eve, written by Sizemore.

It is unfortunate that this book remains available when the true and more complete story is unavailable.

I read Three Faces years ago and found it fascinating, but have since read I'M EVE by Chris Costner Sizemore and Elen Sain Pitillo and agree with the reader who says that the false information published in the original Three Faces books was no longer relevant. What was particularly fascinating was how Drs. Thigpen and Cleckley suppressed Mrs. Sizemore's attempts to get the truth out and how Dr. Thigpen worked to mold her into the image that originally was responsible for her illness--the chauvanism and repression that she was desparately trying to escape.

This book fits right in with Morton Prince's Mrs Beauchamp. She also had three personalities which matched very well with Eve. This is a rare occurence but when it does happen is consistent. What is going on? This is a great subject to research. Compares well with Swedenborg's spirits and spirit levels, and White's mental patients. See Frontiers of Consciousness by White. The inner mischievous personality compares well also to the poltergeist. The trickster, the troublemaker. In the case of the poltergeist, what causes the physical manifestations? Keep searching for the answers. Maverick

I enjoyed this book. The authors presented the situation well. As I was reading the book, I felt as if I were in the room with Mrs. White, watching her personality change. This book gave me a better understanding of multiple personalities. I reccomend for anyone to read this book.
