THE DETROIT NEWS
When Joan Frances Casey "awoke" on the ledge of a building ready to jump, she did not know how she had gotten there. And it wasn't the first time she had blanked out. She decided to give therapy another try. And after a few sessions, Lynn Wilson, an experienced psychiatric social worker, was shocked to discover that Joan had MPD--Multiple Personality Disorder. And as she came to know Joan's distinct selves, Lynn uncovered a nightmarish pattern of emotional and physical abuse, including rape and incest, that nearly succeeded in smothering the artistic and intellectual gifts of this amazing young woman.

    I think my favorite part of this book was when Joan, a functioning MPD (MPD = Multiple Personality Disorder), was sitting in class at Harvard taking notes with both hands. Two personalities where simultaneously taking different sets of notes. After she realised that people around her were watching her she decided that she would only bring one pen with her to class from now on so that wouldn't happen again.

    This book is fascinating but I found that I needed silence around me while I absorbed the pages. If there where distractions in the room I couldn't focus.
