Jennifer and Her Selves

Jennifer and Her Selves

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 newly revised 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 isnâ€™t necessary to be a therapist to find Schoenewolfâ€™s narrative an intriguing one.â€
--Houston Chronicle
â€œWe 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 patientâ€¦.Once begun, this book is hard to put down.â€
--South Bend Press
"It is a page-turner, an exciting, suspenseful, extremely well-written account."
--Richard P. Robertello, author of "The Wasp Mystique"
