Switching Time: A Doctor's Harrowing Story of Treating a Woman with 17 Personalities Audiobook

" This was like Sybil but from the doctor's point of view - interesting! "

" This book is hands down one of the most fascinating books I have read. A true account of a woman living with DID as a result of a horrifying childhood. The author honored the patient and her story. "

" I liked this a lot more than Sybil. Different point of view but I felt more engaged with the story and like that it was from the doctor's point of view. I would recommend this far over Sybil. "

" Really well told and enjoyable. Amazing what the psychologist and the patient lived through. "

" While I found this book interesting, I had an underlying concern about credibility. I realize the patient identity needs to be protected, but there appears to be no efforts to substantiate whether this is true or not. There are so many gaps such as it is hard to believe she would stay with her abusive husband through the 18 years of this therapy, or why aren't he and her children involved in her treatment. I've tried to find reviews regarding it and mainly find his wensite which is like asking Walmart is it true what your detractors say about you. I did find one about suggested memories. I also wondered if it has been this long since its publication, how successful was the treatment? Did she revert to using her alters to cope, create new ones, move on from the husband, her children appear on Jerry Springer to talk about life with my mom who had 17 personalities, etc? "
