Though skimming through this book may make you think it is a yet another a biography of a multiple, this isn't so. Though the story of Toby is central to the work, this book covers the lives of other multiples as well. The unifying factor is the doctor they share, one newly introduced to the concept of multiplicity. Although he seems fairly married to the ideas of trauma-related multiplicity and the necessity of integration, he is very open-minded about learning more about the "disorder," something that cannot be said for many therapists. The major plus of this book is the historical overview it gives to multiplicity in terms of how it has been dealt with clinically. For that alone, multiples may find it worth seeking out, especially if they are writing their own books.
