Telling Without Talking:
Art as a Window into the World of Multiple Personality
(W W Norton, 1995, with Carol Thayer Cox)
“An important contribution to the field of dissociative disorders, and to the mental health field as a whole.”
-- from the Foreword by Colin A. Ross, M.D.
Author, Multiple Personality Disorder: Diagnosis, Clinical Features, and Treatment
People who have been abused often keep their memories locked in a strongbox of dissociation, hidden even from themselves. This extensively illustrated book shows how these individuals simultaneously express and camouflage dissociated and repressed information in drawings. Readers will become attuned to the complex messages in art and learn to recognize and read the graphic communications that are characteristic of those with dissociative identity disorder.
