In 1989, Robert B. Oxnam, the successful China scholar and president of the Asia Society, faced up to what he thought was his biggest personal challenge: alcoholism. But this dependency masked a problem far more serious: Multiple Personality Disorder. At the peak of his professional career, after having led the Asia Society for nearly a decade, Oxnam was haunted by periodic blackouts and episodic rages. After his family and friends intervened, Oxnam received help from a psychiatrist, Dr. Jeffery Smith, and entered a rehab center. It wasn’t until 1990 during a session with Dr. Smith that the first of Oxnam's eleven alternate personalities – an angry young boy named Tommy – suddenly emerged. With Dr. Smith's help, Oxnam began the exhausting and fascinating process of uncovering his many personalities and the childhood trauma that caused his condition. This is the powerful and moving story of one person's struggle with this terrifying illness. The book includes an epilogue by Dr. Smith in which he describes Robert’s case, the treatment, and the nature of multiple personality disorder. Robert's courage in facing his situation and overcoming his painful past makes for a dramatic and inspiring book. This really helped me understand my friend who has this disorder (Dissociative Identity Disorder, DID). It's amazing how much the author was able to accomplish in life before he even realized he had a disorder. He's courageously honest in telling about, and taking responsibility for, the harm he caused. I also appreciate that this doesn't have one of those "and now everything's totally fine" endings -- this one is more realistic, making clear that things can improve *and* one can cope with ongoing mental-health issues.By the way, to anyone who has heard that this isn't a real disorder: while it's true that some incompetent therapists influenced some patients to believe they had multiple personalities when they really didn't, that in no way means that there aren't people really suffering from this. Skepticism is healthy and valuable, but it must be balanced with open mindedness. PLease no international sales, USA only!!!
