A Helpful View of a Fascinating Controversy

In this thought-provoking, highly readable book, August Piper does NOT deny the existence of multiple personality personality disorder. In fact, he argues that the condition is all too prevalent -- but in many cases seems to be brought on and/or exacerbated by certain therapists whose convictions and practices approach those of a religious cult. (The author cites one theorist who uses the term "oppressive supernatural states disorder," and more than one who recommend treatment by exorcism.) Many of Dr. Piper's fellow-psychiatrists (MDs, as opposed to We-Don't-Know-WHATs) support his conclusions, as does a respectable body of broad research and individual case studies. The important contribution of "Hoax and Reality" is its clear explication, for the benefit of lay readers, of a fascinating controversy.

Truth Prevails

I am currently reading the book, Hoax & Reality, and I can't thank the author enough for telling the truth of this phenomena. I recently had the opportunity to write an article about this issue, but had to turn the article down because I didn't believe in it and couldn't write an article favoring it when I didn't believe it existed (except as August Piper, Jr., says, very rarely). I even interviewed someone who claims to have D.I.D. (M.P.D.), and after more than three hours talking to this person, I still didn't believe it! Too many things just don't add up. I am so glad someone has applied true science, common sense and honesty to the phenomena and that this brave author has decided to take a stand. How wonderful to find someone who has the authority (Piper is an M.D.) to back up what I have believed for so long! Thank you, August Piper, Jr., M.D.!
