I was given this book shortly after I was diagnosed with MPD. This book is written in easy enough language that even my "inside kids"/alters were able to understand it. I really found it helpful to give a basic outline of how multiplicity develops and how it works.

I have a friend with MPD. and read this book to gain insight and understanding. It is compassionate, short, concise, accurate and easy to read. I recommend the book for those suffering from MPD. and for anybody who wants to know how childhood abuse causes personalities to fracture.

This is an excellent little book. I believe it is especially good for people who are just realising that they have multiple personalities and for people who suspect they may.
I personaly found it most helpful as it assisted me in coming out of denial and fully realising that I have multiple personalities. One thing particularly good about this book is that child personalities as well as adults are able to understand it which i believe adds a very valuable quality to the book.

This book is pretty basic and pretty simplistic. I suppose if you've never been in therapy and know nothing about DID, it could be helpful for you. It's more helpful for people who don't have DID in understanding their loved ones who do.

This book helped me so much in 1992 when I was first dealing with the idea that I might have what used to be called MPD, now called DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder.)

I am buying two more copies for two of my friends today. For their little ones inside who suffer in shame, isolation, and confusion: this book will help them value and understand themselves. For their grown-up parts inside who work hard but need to have more compassion for the little ones inside: this book will help them develop co-consciousness and learn to communicate with the other parts.

It's hard to communicate with someone who you hate or don't believe in, and its hard to heal from the abuse when you can't tolerate believing in the parts of you that took the abuse and split off from you to help you function. Yes, this book does not tell the whole story, and yes, it's stories may not apply to all of the DID patients who so desperately need it. But, for now, this is the best and ONLY book available for helping little ones inside understand and heal.

I am SO glad that this book is still in print!!!!! I urge ALL therapists who work with survivors of severe abuse to keep a copy of this in your office. I urge anyone with DID or with a DID friend or loved one to buy this book especially for their little ones inside.

I first read this booklet quite a few years ago. It is so easily read and so on target, that I share it with all dissociative patients I treat. Recently, I did a DID training for a small Behavioral Health Clinic in Haines, Alaska. I purchased one of these booklets for each therapist and one for the executive director. This is a fine introductory resource.

I found this book excellent in helping everyone involved in the process of healing understand many aspects of D.I.D in a language that was accessable to young and old alike. I recommend it for anyone who has D.I.D. or for anyone who knows someone who might have a dissociative disorder like P.T.S.D.

This book is an easy read, even children should be able to understand. This book is only about 41 half size pages. It is a great first book for the multiple to understand the disorder and a great book to share with family and friends to explain the basics of multiple personality disorder also known as Dissociative Identity Disorder. I highly recommend this basic book to everyone. A must have for your library.

This is still the ultimate primer on Dissociative Identity Disorder for the public, the curious, the beginning professional, or the recently diagnosed. I have lost track of the number of copies I have purchased and given away.

This is a great book when you have to try to explain to your child your DID. It lets them know in layman's terms you did whatever it took to survive without a lot of medical Jargon and how you came to be that way.
