Engaging Multiple Personalities

Helpful to understand multiple personalities..

As the author points out, the term depression, anxiety are convenient symptoms that can be treated by Big Pharma and MDs. The illness is DID, and the underlying issue is trauma, usually during childhood. Until the mental health community wakes up, suicide will continue to be a top cause of death. As will otherwise inexplicable and horrific events, failed relationships and human time bombs that will inexplicably explode.

I'm living with DID. I've been asked to describe what it's like to live with this disorder. This is the first book that I'd recommend for any clinicians who wants to know or who happens to come in contact with DID, but uncertain where to even start. Well, this is the book for you. Dr. Yeung truly understands the struggles and absurdity one must endure through to find any professional help. In this book, he explains the essentials of DID therapy in a very concise manner. He shows, from his experience, how the therapy process doesn't have to be overly complicated.As someone who lives with DID, it was a healing experience to read this book. I could resonate with many Dr. Yeung's clients described throughout in the book.We need more professionals like Dr. Yeung in the field of trauma therapy who is true and reliable, who doesn't get skittish or shy away from such diagnosis as DID and who square up to the difficult realities that causes this disorder.

This book opens up the world of the amazing reality of multiple personalities. Dr. Yeung's work with D.I.D. patients over the years shows a brilliant clinician trusting his insights in the face of challenges that others would find daunting. For those who suffer from this syndrome, and the associates, friends, and loved ones who are impacted by it, this is a must read. Even more far-reaching, the understanding of the act of dissociation as a response to trauma can be relevant to some extent for most everyone.

A must read book for anyone in the mental health field. The author is knowledgeable and the book is easy to follow.

The author has spent his life helping those suffering with this devastating condition. With this book, he continues that work in a way that can benefit so many more. Well-written and engaging, the stories and Dr. Yeung's thoughtful approach to treatment provide tremendous insight, as well as a ray of hope for those afflicted with DID.

This book was an easy read and enjoyable. It's nice to read and be able to understand and comprehend what I read. I would recommend this book to others who want to know more about DID.

Excellent and parsimonious review of the field from an experienced clinician for patients and clinicians alike. Dr Yeung includes many real world and historical examples.

An excellent and I think very important book. A rare and fascinating glimpse into the world of MPD/DID. Very impressed how Dr Yeung has kept his eye firmly on the ball, which is the healing of his suffering patients. In a controversial and difficult field, full of unknowns and uncertainties and overlooked by the majority of psychiatrists, he has avoided prejudgements and unwarranted assumptions/hypotheses, and conscientiously tuned and balanced his therapy in the interests of the patients. Very admirable.Ronald Wong
