Review:
"Thorough and accurate. Jane Hyman vividly portrays the internal world of DID and understands the logic and function of dissociated parts of the mind. This is the most detailed exploration I have read of the different types of parts, their origins and functions."
--Colin A. Ross, M.D. Past President, The International Society for the Study of Dissociation and author of Dissociative Identity Disorder Be inspired by these women who have survived--and even thrived--with dissociative identity disorder People with dissociative identity disorder (formerly called multiple personality disorder) are widely thought to be highly dysfunctional. This fascinating book debunks this myth. I Am More Than One gives you an inside look at women who have achieved success while living with the condition. Their uplifting stories shed light on a misunderstood but manageable condition--and point the way toward an active, functional, and fulfilling life.

A Breath Of Fresh Air
I found this to be an excellent book. It isn't extreme and doesn't attempt to sensationalize the topic. The story tells itself through the true life experiences of the women.

This year, for the first time, I read three books regarding... more info

"New Wave" book on DID
Books on DID seem to fall into several categories. "My Particularly Strange Life with DID" is one sort, and "One Therapist's Harrowing and Slightly Creepy Experience with a DID Client" is another.

Instead our author investigates the concept that people with DID can indeed lead functional lives in the world and in... more info

An honest and respectful view of Dissociative Identity Disorder
In her new book, I Am More Than One, Jane Hyman takes on and succeeds at a difficult task, one which few authors manage to accomplish: communicating to her readers the deep respect with which she holds the women she interviews, even though their experiences are so foreign to her. It is clear from the beginning that Jane wants us to understand these women's experiences from their own perspectives, without denying the clinical descriptions of their illness. The stories in this book are riveting; the women are... more info
