Reprint ed. Paperback large wide octavo, very good condition, spine ends little rubbed, small mark bottom edge, some edgewear. Heavy, and extra postage may be requested to destinations outside Australia. 371 pp. American psychologist Nicholas P. Spanos wrote this book just before his death. He is a leading expert in the study of the sociocognitive origin of hypnosis. He delivers a rebuttal to long-held assumptions about multiple personality disorder or MPD (now classified in the DSM-IV as dissociative identity disorder or DID). He writes in the forceful, unapologetic style that was a Spanos trademark, and bolstered by a thorough examination of the relevant science. He argues that MPD is not a legitimate psychiatric disorder but a cultural construct, one with roots in earlier beliefs about demonic possession and upheld today by misguided psychotherapists and their patients. This book is a vivid, scholarly statement on a subject that interests psychology professionals, sociologists, cultural critics and lay readers.
