Accessible and thought provoking, this unique interpretation posits that an individual's sense of self as a single, permanent being is an illusion and that each person is rather a collection of diverse personalities unified by common experiences. Far from being a hindrance, however, these multiple selves are a necessary mental mechanism to deal with an ever-evolving world. Through extensive exercises, graphs, and illustrations, this groundbreaking study demonstrates how to achieve harmony among these distinct personalities--avoiding the stress-inducing conflict that can often result between them--in order to fully harness their strength and potential.

Accesible y estimulante, esta interpretación única sostiene que la imagen de un individuo tiene de si mismo como un ser único y permanente es una ilusión y que cada persona es, más bien, una colección de varias personalidades unidas gracias a recuerdos comunes. En vez de ser un estorbo, sin embargo, estas personalidades son un mecanismo necesario en un mundo en transformación. A través de ejercicios extensos, gráficos e ilustraciones, este estudio innovador demuestra como lograr la armonía entre estos distintos seres--evitando el conflicto entre estos que puede resultar en estrés--para aprovechar su fuerza y potencial.

Library Journal Review

In this interpretation of the many selves within the human mind, science and medical writer Carter offers a unique definition of multiple personalities in a functioning person, without the usual discussion of phobias or other psychological disorder. Carter sees personality as a cluster of related traits. She describes a passive mother of two transforming into a powerful attorney in a high-powered firm; this mental shape-shifting leads the mother to display contradictory character traits at home, work, and play. Contrasting what the author calls minor and major personality traits in thought and behavior, Carter explains: Our inner landscape is constantly changing. Various personalities form, change, fade away, merge, and grow. She adds intriguing diagrams of memory and recall patterns illustrating how people behave differently in different situations.
