This Book is Our Friend.
We had read everything we could get our hands on about MPD, hoping to find something we could use both as a therapeutic source for ourselves and a resource to share with important people in our life.This book not only does just that, but most importantly, it consistantly exudes respect for the multiple as a whole as well as for each alter. Rosalee, one of the alters of one of the authors, describes various facets of living with MPD with honesty and candor. We feel that this book should be distributed like World War Two propaganda: out of low-flying airplanes, to the masses.

Start your journey here...
I read this book and it has helped me so much. I do not have DID, but am working with a woman I sponsor in a 12 step program. Our relationship has broadened to include (necessarily) her DID and self harm issues. This book is a very good place to start if you are just learning of your diagnosis, or someone you love is struggling with it. It is written in simple language, and the exercises are really beneficial. My "baby" and I have done a few so far and plan to do more. It is reassuring to her that there are others out there who not only suffer from DID, but have survived and conquered daily living with this disorder. I cannot recommend this book enough as a common sense, straightforward entry level into the world of DID. Thank you, Karen & Tracy, for your courage and your willingness to share your experience with us. You have helped more than you could know.!

Understanding DID
I found this book to be very informative as well as helpful for myself as one who lives with DID/MPD....Tracy Alderman has written this book in such a way that you can actually understand what she is talking about. When you live with DID....and you try to find more information to help your loved ones and significant others to understand, often the books you find are so techinical. This book is written down to earth and understandable. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more. Whether you are a Multiple or a *singleton*....this book will be one that you want.
