[Dialogue] Book recommendations

[KarenBueno at aol.com]

For those of you who are interested in mental health and illness, I have a 
couple of recommendations:  The Center Cannot Hold, by Elyn Saks.  Ms Saks is a 
high functioning schizophrenic who has written her own story.  She is 
currently a professor at the University of S. Calif.
 
The other is Switching Time by Richard Baer.  The author is a psychiatrist 
who is working with a patient whom, he eventually finds, has MPD, multiple 
personality disorder.  This unusual disorder is like Sybil, and The Three faces of 
Eve, which you may have heard of.  I had a friend in 1987 who was a multiple.  
She only lived a few years after I knew her, as one of her alters killed the 
whole group.
 
Both are new 2007 copyright dates, and very interesting to read.
