One body… many minds. This strange set of circumstances is at the heart of this mental health book, which explores the unique journey of “The Fortress”—a self-designated group of personalities or “alters” that share the physical body of a woman diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder (formerly known as multiple personality disorder). This women’s health book provides an insightful and compassionate perspective on the challenges and triumphs faced by those living with this condition.
In this unique mental health memoir, this unfortunate illness is born out of extreme psychological trauma or child abuse in a child’s very early years when their personalities are formed and solidified. Under these tragic circumstances, the child’s personality literally fragments into individual parts that remain separate to help diffuse the impact of the traumatic events that surround them.
