Switching Time: A Doctor's Harrowing Story of Treating a Woman with 17 Personalities by Richard Baer

2.0

This is at it's core a good story about a therapist and client. But the writing is terrible and the author is far too self-congratulatory for me to find him compelling or compassionate. He seems so invested in being this woman's therapist, but his motivations are suspect.

Spoiler

His continuing to see her in his private apartment despite closing his practice and allowing his marriage to fall apart was appalling to me. Regardless, I'm pleased that Karen was eventally able to find peace and assertiveness in her life.
