Living with Multiple Personalities: The Christine Ducommun Story
A powerful and shocking psychological 'drama' that will be reminiscent to some of the Academy Award-winning A Beautiful Mind, this true story will have you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. Spellbinding ----Josh Miller, ProducerThis chilling book has been ten years in the making. When Christine first contacted me a decade ago asking if I would help her bring her book to light, working on it revealed she still had much work to do in her treatment and care. Now on the other side of this intense regimen, Christine shines a bright light not only on her spectacular journey into and out of Disassociative Identity Disorder, but on the fragility of the human mind and the durability of the human spirit. We look forward to this book, and the upcoming television movie it has inspired. --Bettie Youngs, PublisherAnyone who has ever questioned themselves whether for a day, a week or longer will find themselves in this stunning probe into the often secret landscape of the mind. A riveting story of one woman's decent into madness and how she was able to become whole again finally, the director of her own life.Michele Marcotte, features editor, The Daily Sentinel A fascinating and important account of a remarkable life journey.Lynette Bushman, Therapist to ChristineThis book, part mystery and part survival story, this unforgettable book is ultimately a story of the strength of the mind and spirit from which we can all find encouragement to walk through the fire of our own lives. I think you want people to better understand how someone might be hiding this disorder, because it carries such a social stigma--they may not even know they have it.  This book can help them find answers.--Les Holms, educatorThe criminal justice system is overloaded with cases, many of which might really be moved to a mental health venue. And anyone dealing with children might be able to help them if they see problems. The famed running back Herschel Walker struggled with DID. He attributed it to extreme bullying, not trauma at home. Some mental health professionals scoff at that but still it might open up avenues for this material as part of identifying kids who have endured severe bullying and thus compartmentalized. This book can be really helpful in opening up a very needed discussion. --Christine Belleris, EditorA powerful and shocking psychological 'drama' that will be reminiscent to some of the Academy Award-winning A Beautiful Mind, this true story will have you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end.
