Jennifer and Her Selves - Revised Edition (Paperback)

She was thin and tired, her arms marked by self-inflicted wounds. In his seventh session with Jennifer, Dr. Gerald Schoenewolf, then a young psychoanalyst, made an astounding discovery: this beautiful former ballerina was actually seven separate personalities, ranging from an angry little boy to an austere writer to a sexually provocative young woman. Tracing the birth of each of Jennifer's selves, Dr. Schoenewolf found himself drawn inexorably into a near obsession with her. Dealing directly with each of her personalities, he accompanied Jennifer on a profound journey of awakening and pain. This is a unique session-by-session account of an extraordinary year when a patient and doctor changed each other's lives forever. "An emotional, convincing account." --Publishers Weekly "This was a page-turner, a fascinating case of a disorder many of us will never see in practice. But it isn't necessary to be a therapist to find Schoenewolf's narrative an intriguing one." --Houston Chronicle "We are allowed to see the very human side of the therapist as he struggles with the suspicion, then the knowledge, that he has fallen in love with his patient....Once begun, this book is hard to put down." --South Bend Press
