Recensione

"An important and insightful look into the world of a multiple."
--Cameron West, bestselling author of FIRST PERSON PLURAL

“This is Dr. Baer’s incredibly moving and inspiring account of how his patient, Karen, drove herself to heal psychic wounds that surely would have devastated someone less resolute. Particularly fascinating is how Baer, despite frequently feeling overwhelmed, guided Karen to a place where she could risk knowing — and exploring — the horrors lurking in her elaborate inner world.  Throughout the book, one marvels at this caring therapist and his immense honesty, courage and commitment.”
--Dena Rosenbloom, Ph.D., co-author of LIFE AFTER TRAUMA

“SWITCHING TIME takes the reader on an absorbing journey through a psychiatrist’s dauntingly challenging first case of multiple personality disorder -- from the beginning of therapy to stable integration and recovery. Vivid...loaded with fascinating details...a richly rewarding read."
-- Colin Ross, author of MULTIPLE PERSONALITY ORDER and THE OSIRIS COMPLEX
