The Flock: The Autobiography of a Multiple Personality

The groundbreaking first-person account of successful recovery from dissociative identity disorder, now featuring a new preface by the author

When Joan Frances Casey, a married twenty-six-year-old graduate student, â€œawokeâ€ on the ledge of a building ready to jump, it wasnâ€™t the first time she couldnâ€™t explain her whereabouts. Soon after, Lynn Wilson, an experienced psychiatric social worker, diagnosed Joan with multiple personality disorder. She prescribed a radical program of reparenting therapy to individually treat her patientâ€™s twenty-four separate personalities. As Lynn came to know Joanâ€™s distinct selvesâ€”Josie, the self-destructive toddler; Rusty, the motherless boy; Renee, the people pleaserâ€”she uncovered a pattern of emotional and physical abuse that had nearly consumed a remarkable young woman.
