Hidden Selves

This book is based upon the story of a survivor of abuse who tells of her experiences with multiple personality and its impact on her life. Six authors, including the editors, respond to her story and describe the ways they would work with her therapeutically. These essays represent the diverse and conflicting interpretations of causation, meaning, and treatment of multiple personality. Walker is a professor of counseling and psychotherapy at the University of Leicester. Antony-Black is herself a survivor of childhood abuse who has lived with multiple personality. She now runs a support and counseling organization for women survivors of sexual abuse. Distributed by Taylor and Francis. No index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
