Synopsis
We all have many sides to our personalities, which we display to different friends, colleagues and partners, but what happens if those facets become detached from each other, and take on lives of their own? This is what Bob Oxnam was to discover when he was diagnosed with multiple personality disorder. The first of Bob's personalities to make himself known during therapy was an angry young boy named Tommy, who claimed to live in a castle in Bob's mind. Bob's psychiatrist eventually met all 12 'people' who lived in the castle. He uncovered why Tommy was torturing Bobby in the dungeon, and the many other layers of terror that had lived in Bob since he was a small child. Told in the voices of the different personas, we see the bookish Robert take over as dominant personality from Bob, and watch as the other personalities successfully merge into the three that share power today.

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. London. Vision Paperbacks / Satin Publications. 2006. Soft Covers. Touch of age toning; no other wear. Sharp corners and no wear to the spine. Uncommon UK edition. At the peak of his professional career, after having led the Asia Society for nearly a decade, Oxnam was haunted by periodic blackouts and episodic rages. After his family and friends intervened, Oxnam received help from a psychiatrist, Dr. Jeffrey Smith, and entered a rehab center. It wasn't until 1990 during a session with Dr. Smith that the first of Oxnam's eleven alternate personalities--an angry young boy named Tommy--suddenly emerged. With Dr. Smith's help, Oxnam began the exhausting and fascinating process of uncovering his many personalities and the childhood trauma that caused his condition. This is the powerful and moving story of one person's struggle with this terrifying illness. Seller Inventory # FEB18028
