Call Me Crazy : A Memoir by
Anne Heche This is a good “my story” book about DID.
Those who suffer from it should draw strength from the book,
especially those suffered from sexual abuse. Its well rounded
book. I would recommend it. It is not a however a recovery book
about DID as I felt some reviewers at Amazon thought it should
be.

Multiple Journeys to One: Spiritual Stories of
Integrating from Dissociative Identity
Disorder by Judy Dragon,
Terry Popp "I highly recommend reading this book! It has
validated so many things I had told my therapist, things I
thought no one would ever be able to believe. It has provided me
with hope and courage to continue my healing. I think it will be
very beneficial to all who love and care about someone who has
survived as well. I think these ladies are an inspiration and I
thank them so much for sharing."

Amongst Ourselves : A Self-Help Guide to Living With
Dissociative Identity Disorder by Tracy, Ph.D.
Alderman, Karen Marshall LCSW, "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."

THE STRANGER IN THE MIRROR: Dissociation: The Hidden
Epidemic by Marlene
Steinberg, Maxine Schnall "This book drags you into it. I found
myself going back to it again and again, I was through the first
hundred pages and thought the easy reading and understand of
this book in unbelievable. I didn't think I would be able to
read it norless understand it. I had to take that chance and was
I shocked when I realized it was on my level. This is a must
read book for all. I found myself all thought this book, and at
times we found ourselves. Thank You so much for this information
it has given me a better understanding after years of talking
with a therapist on some of the insanity that my life has taken
me through."

Treating Dissociative Identity Disorder (3-Volume
Set) by James L. Spira
(Editor), Irvin D. Yalom (Editor) "This is the best book to date
on the subject of DID/MPD. The authors are the leaders in the
field, and they offer concise and detailed information about how
to treat patients with multiple personalities in in-patient and
out-patient settings. Dr. Spira's introductory chapter is
especially helpful and offers a good context for the chapters
that follow. There are chapters on psychological assessment, the
develop of DID, treatments from a variety of perspectives, and
even a chapter of psychotropic medications! This is a great book
for anyone who has ever treated someone with MPD, or who want to
better understand dissociative disorders."
