More Than Survivors:
Conversations with
Multiple Personality Clients
(Paperback)

by James G. Friesen

A few months after Uncovering the Mystery of MPD was released, I was asked to write a book about one person who has overcome MPD, perhaps like some movies you may have seen. My hesitation was that a story about any one person would paint a picture with too few colors! I hoped to find a few of people who are willing to tell their stories, in order to help people see the broader picture. It is very clear that to read about one person is very limited. This book is about eight people, their lives and what God has done for them. They survived abuse, and developed MPD as a last line of defense. My belief is that MPD is a sane response to an insane world. These individuals will show you just what I mean.

Did you ever wonder what it’s like to be a “fly on the wall” during therapy? This is about as close as you will get – actual conversations between a therapist and people who have been through therapy, about their lives. Eight former clients are interviewed, some from Jim’s work and some who received help from other Christian therapists. More Than Survivors: Conversations with Multiple Personality Clients (1992) provides insights and hope, straight from the mouths of those who have benefitted from treatment for Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD), now called Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). Open up this book and you will find that these are truly splendid people.

“I just completed Jim Friesen’s More Than Survivors. It is a masterpiece. Jim does an incredible job of empowering and complementing each survivor’s sense of self and creative ability to live beyond survival. He also magnifies our Creator and the power of Christ, while maintaining the focus and purpose of the book with appropriate interjections and clarifications.” -- a Survivor
