Switching Time

di Richard Baer (Autore)

Crown, 2007

In 1989, a woman walked into Dr. Richard Baer’s office asking for help with memory loss. Thus begins the first and only complete account of Dissociative Identity Disorder treatment told from inside the consulting room. “An absorbing journey through a psychiatrist’s dauntingly challenging first case—from the beginning of therapy to stable integration and recovery. Vivid, loaded with fascinating details. A richly rewarding read.”—Colin Ross, author of Multiple Personality Order Karen Overhill didn’t know why she kept losing parts of her day. She didn’t know why she found herself in places she didn’t remember going. She didn't know why people described conversations she had no memory of having. Then Dr. Baer received a letter. It was addressed in Karen’s handwriting. The sender was a seven-year-old girl who said she lived inside Karen. She was one of seventeen. What followed was fourteen years of the most challenging and most documented case of DID in clinical literature. A young boy filled with frightening aggression. An adult male who considered himself Karen’s protector. A sassy flirt who sought dominance over the others. Seventeen distinct personalities, each holding a fragment of a childhood of unimaginable abuse. Each one a survival mechanism. Each one, in time, a person Dr. Baer came to know.
