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.
