i have read it. yes, the abuse is horrific and disturbing. What i find interesting is that most ppl read it to find the "disturbing" personalities. I have DID/MPD and i found her insights to bring clairity to my life on things i can't find words for. most of the book is highlighted for reference. sadly, my past T didn't want to see it. I haven't asked my current t. my past t was not pleased that i was reading it and kept asking "why do you do this to yourself"?. I have to assume she meant reading triggering material - but let's face it, therapy IS triggering. I've switched far more times in her office than reading the book.
I did have to skip some of the abuse info - it was too much for me and i did have some flashbacks.
But i would hope that people will read it, and be shocked at the *abuse* - not the multiple personalities. It is not a monstrocity - it is survival.
