Out of the Depths - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The moving journey of one young woman with multiple personality disorder, as told from the perspective of her therapist. Psychotherapy is raw in its telling. Sexual abuse victims once again expose themselves. This time their naked souls are held in the arms of their psychotherapists who act as surrogate mothers. It is sometimes exquisitely intimate and heart-warming but at other times excruciatingly painful to witness. But there is much comfort in knowing how love can reach the deepest recesses of the human spirit: that by cherishing the soul of the victim, who at times flounders like an injured bird in one's hands, there lies the opportunity to bring relief from turmoil, chaos and despair. Demystifying psychotherapy, 'Out of the Depths' provides a rare opportunity to glimpse into the minds of both psychotherapist and client as they take the sometimes torrid path through psychotherapy. The story of Mary is based on the accounts of people with multiple personality disorder and those who endeavour to heal them. It describes how a deeply traumatised young woman attempts to piece together the fragments of her past. However, on her journey to find her true self and inner peace, she discovers she has further separate personalities in addition to her own. With each personality having individual needs, wishes and desires, will she find that they're all on the path to healing, or is one personality intent on self-destruction?
