Summary: An Important Book ... Once and for always
Comment: This is a collection of writing from 132 individuals, most of whom are multiples. Cohen (an art therapist) combined efforts with Lynn (editor/publisher of Many Voices), an Giller (director of The Sidran Foundation). Four questions were asked in a survey to subscribers of Lyn's work. The reoccurring themes were trust, control, and boundary-setting. They write that the book's audience "... may find here the wisdom of a collective voice, and structures upon which to build alliances."
This book was an important book at the time it was published and has remained so over the years. It was one of the first of its kind. At the time, Many Voices had 2,300 subscribers. There was a need for people to "come together." The questions asked of the multiples in 1990 were, "What do you wish you had known about MPD when you were first diagnosed? What would you like therapists to know about the experience of MPD? and, What do you think spouses, friends, and/or supportive family members should know about MPD?" Then, the significant others were asked to share their thoughts.
I remember how important this book was to me at the time. I had been diagnosed with MPD in January of 1990, and we had found this copy in 1992. I felt relief at hearing from a variety of multiples who were facing the same kind of experiences we were having. Some of my feelings were the same as them, some different. It was ok to feel about it as you may. I didn't realize at the time that there were other multiples that would try and maybe never find the right therapist, or that the therapy I was receiving was somewhat unique and very good. My therapist was very stable and practiced in his field and open minded.

Summary: AN INSIDE & SOMETIMES BORING VIEW
Comment: I gor this book because I am a multiple and I wanted to know other people's experience so I wouldn't feel so isolated. Several friends had read it and recommended it to me.
I did find a few excerpt from the text very helpful in understanding other people's view of this condition. However, as a multiple, I found the book boring and stale. Same things over and over. This book may be great for someone recently diagnosed or for a singleton wanting to understand, but it's not the best choice and it certainly is not that good of a choice if you're well into your understanding.

Summary: A must read for anyone
Comment: When I read this book, it was like a lightning from the
clear skies. It explained so many things about myself,
others, and consciousness in general. Also, it told me
so much about how much abuse there is in the world, and
how much prejudice there is against people who are different
from some narrowly accepted norms. If one reads this book
with the heart, it can teach so incredibly much about love
and compassion which are so lacking in our world. I recommend
this book to anyone, whether MPD or not MPD.
