Uncovering the Mystery of Mpd

I can not stress enough the importance of reading this book if you have someone in your life with MPD. At the time of my review I was able to read 14 reviews both pro and con for this book and I felt compelled to comment on my experience. This book was recommended to me by a therapist who treated clients with MPD and knew that I had taken into my home an 18 year old girl who has MPD. I bought this book and Dr. Friesen's book, "More Than Survivors". Although some of the information is heart wrenching I found that the more I understood, the more I could help this young girl who had only experienced rejection and unbelief by others in her life up to this point. There is no doubt when someone has MPD if the other personalities feel safe enough to emerge in your presence. What I learned from these two books was to give unconditional love as I treated each personality in the way they needed to be treated. I am amazed at the progress that she has had in the short 6 months time that she has been here. I am humbled and grateful that God chose to use me to bring healing to her life. I would still be at a loss~~ depending only on misguided information that the media spits out~~ if not for these two books that Dr. Freisen was courageous enough to write. Anything in life, good and bad can be misused or misunderstood......as could these books. Used properly, these are awesome tools to provide health and healing to someone who has been victimized in ways we would never have imagined. I would give them 10 stars if I could.

Dr. Friesen writes in a style that is so very easy to understand. This a great resourse for any with MPD\DID. It is great for the families and churches who are dealing with a person who has MPD\DID. Basic MPD\DID 101 that will give you an excellent grasp of the unique condition MPD\DID. I use this guide as a reference for my DWJD team and as a counseling tool.

I have been dx'd with DID/MPD for over 2 yrs, and I found everything that Dr. Freisen has published to be biblically sound, helpful, and insightful. This book is no different. Dr. Freisen has a heart for the wounded and broken - and FINALLY a christian is willing to admit that MPD/DID is NOT demonic - is NOT the survivor's fault - but is the end result of abuse! I am so greatful for this book - you should be too!

This is a must have book for counselors and those working in a "true" inner healing/deliverance ministry. It was comforting to know that many of the things this book talks about, we were already doing or God was doing through us. All SRA survivers should read this book as well.

Having come upon this book by chance shortly after finding I have MPD, I was impressed with the level of understanding and helpful ideas. This book was instrumental to me and I bought several copies to give to those involved in my recovery, including doctor and hospital I was using at the time.I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is try to gain some knowledge and understanding of this very complex situation.
