The James Tapes: Book One
A rare glimpse into the psyche of a multiple personality disorder (MPD) patient
Can you believe an individual can have more than one personality in the same body? Or that one of his personalities would be a little boy, another gay, another female, another unable to feel pain, another suicidal, another homicidal, and another psychic?
“Dr. Brende’s account of his treatment of a patient with multiple personality disorder is both fascinating and informative. Multiple personality disorder is not that well understood, and Brende’s work with James, videotaped over a period of years, offers a rare glimpse into the psyche of an MPD patient. Dr. Brende’s broad clinical experience with psychotherapy and hypnosis combined with his clear, “down to earth” writing style, makes this account an important contribution to the field.”
