Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Napier's book has become a security blanket for me!
Review: This book is a must-have for anyone who used dissociative strategies to survive physical, emotional, or sexual abuse as a child; their therapists, and support people. Napier does an outstanding job of explaining what it means to be dissociative, and how to cope with it. She also offers advice for multiple personalities.

A particularly useful chapter covers how to find a therapist and what the therapist-client relationship should be.

I have purchased copies for members of my support family as the book does an excellent job of demystifying dissociation and multiplicity.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Practical, Comforting Guide through the healing process.
Review: This book is excellent, especially for those struggling with MPD/DID (dissociative disorders). Unlike many other books on the subject, it is full of practical, workable coping strategies for managing everyday living and the emotional issues that come up during the recovery process. A must-read for anyone recovering from childhood abuse, whether multiple or not.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Probably not...
Review: Time and time again, I have come back to this book for grounding. For validation. For understanding. For direction...and it never lets me down. It is true that the author of a book can only... really.... take you as far as he/she has gone themselves! This books leads the way to what all other self-help books should aspire too! Absence of ego and a genuine sense and practical advice on how to move from point A to point B! I can not reccomend this book highly enough! Out of all the other books that I have on the subject...... this one... hands down... is the one that sits upon my night-stand! It is invaluable!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
