Switching Time - a doctor's harrowing story of treating a woman with 17 personalities
I was surprised to locate this book at my local library as I'd never heard of it. It's a decent book told by the perspective of the therapist that treated his first multiple.
I was hoping to discover what he thought and felt regarding the experience of observing someone switching. He never touched on that aspect. It's written quite clinically and a bit old school; no touching the client with either hugs or safe touch, even when the client would ask.
I did find it insightful into the therapist's point of view and techniques for working successfully with a Multiple.
No drama here which is refreshing.
The book, the memories can be highly triggering especially for those who suffered with ritual abuse. Memories are rather graphic. Read with caution and skip over the memory parts if needed.
Overall, I'd give it 3 out of 4 stars.
A middle aged woman who happens to be autistic with multiple personality disorder. A place to write, share and be heard.
