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

3.0

The story was interesting, but I felt bad being the patient of another doctor - very judged and wondering if my own doctor thinks such disparaging thoughts about me. The abuse was written about in a manner that was still managed to convey the horror involved without being absolutely overwhelming, but the doctor writing things like how he didn't like Karen until some of the parts he did like joined her seemed extremely judgmental. I guess I know and understand that psychologists have opinions of their patients, but it seems extremely unprofessional to offer it to the world at large, negative or otherwise.
