Silencing the Voices

A story of healing and hope, this book brings both mental health professionals and the general public a better understanding of the dissociative condition and the integration process. An engaging true story of a highly functional individual with extreme post traumatic stress syndrome, written in the style of an intense mystery novel.

JEAN is a dutiful wife who will do anything to make her marriage work. But JODY hates Jean's husband and is determined to drive them apart. Little JD just hides from it all, emerging when Jean's painful past is more than she can bear. These are the voices that live within the mind of Jean Darby Cline.

As a child, Jean suffered unspeakable mental and sexual abuse at the hands of her father. As an adult, her first husband's verbal abuse and cruel outbursts of rage echoed the violence of her childhood. Jean hoped that psychotherapy would help ease her depression-and fill in the major lapses of her memory. Instead, Jean made a startling discovery. The childhood horrors she'd endured had caused her personality to fragment into three separate entities-three "people" with opinions and emotions all their own...

"This deeply personal book cries out with the pure ring of authenticity. [Ms. Cline's] voice becomes a doorway to all suffering children who must stay silent."
-STEWART STERN, screenwriter of Sybil

"Unique in its dramatic point of view from inside the unfolding self-discovery of a multiple, "Silencing the Voices" invites the reader to explore the multiple's jigsaw-puzzle mind - and the childhood terror that fractured it. Fascinating as a story in its own right, in its portrayal of real day-to-day experience of multiplicity, "Silencing the Voices" is also a valuable addition to the literature on dissociative phenomena. With the skills of a master storyteller, Jean Cline has given us a book which will be of help to anyone - professional and layperson alike - who wants to understand both the torment of multiple personality and the long but engaging journey back to wholeness."
