Multiple Personality Disorder, also known as Dissociative Identity Disorder, is a mysterious phenomenon that pits experts against each other.
Outside the ordinary day-to-day life experience of most people, it is hard to understand. When alternate personality states (alters) appear, it is tempting for the clinician and others to dismiss them as the patients' play-acting hysterics. In his psychiatric practice, the author encountered a number of his patients' alters face-to-face. He found that the most effective course of therapy was to engage them directly.
Living in Multiplicity is written directly to and for individuals with DID and their support networks. The author addresses questions from individuals with DID as they prepare for, embark and continue on their healing journey. They are questions he received prior to his retirement as well as from those who contacted him after the publication of Volumes 1 and 2 of the Engaging Multiple Personalities series.
In 1962, the author received his medical degree and psychiatric training in Hong Kong. He continued his training in London, England and in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada where he became a Fellow of the Royal College of Psychiatrists. After having practiced psychiatry on three continents and over four decades, he retired in 2006.

Engaging Multiple Personalities
|
多重人格障礙也稱為解離身份障礙,是一種撲朔迷離並不為人廣知的疾病。專家們對此也常眾說紛紜。
如果一個人突然改變了他的情感,思維,態度,行為甚至身份,彷彿他已經成為另一個人一般,基於我們普通日常的經驗,一般人很難理解這種病態現象,即使對於許多心理健康專業人士來說也是如此。臨床醫生可能會誤解為這是一種"歇斯底里"從而引人注目的表現而已。
在作者多年的精神病學行醫過程中,曾經多次治療交替人格,與這些患者面對面。因此作者可通過生動的病例以及其病史和臨床表現來深入探討治療方案並分享他的臨床經驗。
The general public is bewildered and fascinated by Multiple Personality Disorder/Dissociative Identity Disorder. Through books, television and movies, a distorted view of DID is often presented. While it may make for good entertainment, it fails to truly present the depth and intensity of the inherent trauma. Outside the ordinary day-to-day life experience of most people, it is hard to understand. Ignoring past trauma simply will not help a patient. In his psychiatric practice, the author encountered a number of his patients' alters face-to-face. He found that the most effective course of therapy was to engage them directly. Talking to alters is a strange, serious and ultimately compelling experience. They are not real according to our customary definitions, but neither are they false or fake. They are survivors of childhood abuse, present in shared flesh and blood. The author discusses the phenomenon of DID through case histories, and how it manifests clinically. Most important, he elucidates techniques necessary to help these traumatized patients heal. DID patients can successfully engage in and profit from therapy. By processing the impact of their past traumatic memory, they may reclaim their present. 274 pages
