Shattered Selves: Multiple Personality In A Postmodern World
by James M. Glass (Author),
Cornell University Press (Publisher)
Product Specifications
Book Description
James M. Glass exposes the limitations of postmodernist thought by examining the
first-person narratives of women institutionalized with multiple personality
disorder. EDITORIAL REVIEWS
Glass's scholarly, impassioned study plunges readers into a world of ongoing
torment, suffering, alienation, terror and distortion--the lives of women with
multiple personality disorder (MPD), whom he interviewed at a Maryland
psychiatric hospital. All of his subjects develop alter-selves as protection
from the horrors of childhood incest or other physical and mental abuse. One
woman had participated in satanic cult rites and was repeatedly raped by her
father, who was the cult's high priest. The patients' compelling narratives are
interwoven with Glass's complex critique
