Book Reviews of The Flock: The Autobiography of a Multiple Personality
Book Review: Incredible story
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book a few years ago, and it still sticks in my mind as being the best-written memoir I've read to date. The Flock is brilliant writing that gives detailed insight into the mind of a multiple. It has definitely helped me know how to understand those I pray with.
I now know what those with DID are talking about when they say they are tired all the time or can't remember simple things from the past, or even that morning. People with DID are multi-talented, highly intelligent, and can cope with much more than the average person; however, it is sad that their coping mechanisms of creating more parts continues into adult life, when safety and protection by parts should change into living in the reality of life with the whole strength of the integrated personalities (or at least, a reduced number).
Shattered into pieces and then fused by love, hopefully this book will continue to bring hope to those who struggle to become whole.
Summary of The Flock: The Autobiography of a Multiple Personality
"This is the first coherent autobiographical study of its kind, and it is absolutely mesmerizing....Simply not be be missed."THE DETROIT NEWS
When Joan Frances Casey "awoke" on the ledge of a building ready to jump, she did not know how she had gotten there. And it wasn't the first time she had blanked out. She decided to give therapy another try. And after a few sessions, Lynn Wilson, an experienced psychiatric social worker, was shocked to discover that Joan had MPD--Multiple Personality Disorder. And as she came to know Joan's distinct selves, Lynn uncovered a nightmarish pattern of emotional and physical abuse, including rape and incest, that nearly succeeded in smothering the artistic and intellectual gifts of this amazing young woman.
