This comic is a big disappointment!
She is supposed to talk about DID but is not at all credible and still falls into the clichés conveyed on DID: violence, dangerousness, nobody to lock up ...
It is the story of a man with an DID who will gradually "lose his life" and disappear in favor of one of his quirks who takes control.
Reading it made me very angry and seeing that it is praised by people as being "representative of dissociative identity disorder" infuriates me!
Several things are not very credible: the fact of switching every other day, the switches are not regulated like music paper ... We switch by the need to protect ourselves from a situation and because an alter, a part must use its backup mode set up in the past because it believes us in danger ...
We are not violent towards others nor dangerous! The scenes of violence in this comic are not representative of DID in my opinion.
Then the role of the two therapists is grotesque! No dissociation therapist would seek to "make" our parts "disappear" or "kill" them. A specialized psychologist will seek that our parts communicate and understand each other, whether they seek to help each other until they function properly together or merge.
This book made me angry and the end is so grotesque that I frankly do not recommend it!
